mthydro Member	# Posted: 1 Apr 2015 13:45 - Edited by: mthydro Reply Hi All New member here, but I've been trolling for a while and researching on this site. We have a family cottage near Haliburton, ON with a large, private piece of waterfront property. The cottage is shared with 2 siblings and is filling up quickly... To have some privacy and free up some space I built a great 12x8 BUNKIE. This is based loosely on the Cottage Life Bunkie plan. The modifications included a 5' sliding patio door onto the deck and a separate entrance door. I'm a pretty handy guy, but this was my first time tackling a wood related project. Here's a few photos The Beginning Patio View Front View (trim to door added not in photo) Inside Back Door Loft Ladder Back View (step to be added yet) Loft Window View Lake Sunsets

mthydro Member	# Posted: 1 Apr 2015 15:00 Reply It's a great neck of the woods for sure without having to deal with the 400 area traffic Still a bit of a work in process. I plan on doing the following this summer: - Finish ceiling - Railing on deck - Stairs up right side of deck - Steps going in - Solar powered Shed light install - Solar lights on walkway and the biggest of all...a small outdoor shower building

Jason Markin Member	# Posted: 23 Apr 2015 00:32 Reply Hey Mthydro, the bunkie is super-cool. I just loved the idea and the view of river nearby is mesmerizing. Do post some more images after complete construction. All the very best

pegp Member	# Posted: 23 May 2020 17:11 Reply hi there. love your little cabin. It looks very similar to a bunkie we built in our backyard recently (8 x 12 with a 15/12 sloped roof and a sleeping loft). I noticed that your ladder has a chain. Is this a "stand" that you have built for when the ladder is not in use? Also, I'd love more details on how your ladder fits.
