connoroliver Member	# Posted: 17 Sep 2008 18:58 Reply Hi, After thinking about it for years I'm going to build a cabin. I'm not sure about all the details of it yet thought. I don estimate that it'll be about 10X12 feat. It's up on a large piece of property my mom/dad own. Building permits and limits are fairly simple, and not very strict, so I need not worry about them. (I've done some research) I'm seriously thinking of using an A-Frame design for my cabin and devided it into the bottom floor and a loft type floor. I think this would be a good option and I don't see it leaving too much un-usable space. What do you all think? I've got a blog going for it at: http://mysmallcabin.wordpress.com/ -Connor

I wanted to keep my cabin structure simpler so I didn't do the loft floor, but afterward I wished I have done it. It would add a valuable space in the small size cabin. Good luck with your project. Keep us posted.

It can get quite warm in the loft during the summer, so insulation and ventilation is a must, at least it is down here in Texas... Good luck, and looking forward to seeing you progress.
