We purchased this property at the end of September and started clearing the old drive to the back of the property. What started of as a place to drag our camper to...kinda grew!
I had it all designed in my head when I found this forum. I like a lot of ideas from this site especially Taiwin and thier 12 X 16.
As I was designing our cabin, I came across theirs. Let me tell ya, great minds must think alike cause thiers looked almost exactlly like the ideas floating around my head!
What started our as a 12x16 shed plan from a local discount building supplier changed...a lot...

I agree, very nice. Waiting for the inside pics.
What are the blue marks on the siding? do they serve some purpose?

Thanks all!
Not much on the inside yet. We put in insullation and ran the 12/120 volt wiring (no pics).
The lighting will be 12 volt, and we will have 1 outlet for a tv and a ceiling fan w/light running off an invertor.
We plan on using T&G pine panels and some type of laminate wood flooring.
We will also have a 8x8 bbq deck coming off the porch
The blue marks on the ouside are from the mill. Some sort of ID, not sure.

Awesome looking place! Love the space in the loft. Great use of the extra height staying in the 12x16 footprint. Was the same design we were looking at before we ended up going bigger.

Quoting: keljohnso The lighting will be 12 volt, and we will have 1 outlet for a tv and a ceiling fan w/light running off an invertor.
Lots of discussions on 12v vs 120VAC etc etc on the site. Without getting into it in depth (and with no details on your actual system) you might consider a 12VDC ceiling fan so you can keep the inverter off unless needed. Although a "smart inverter" will reduce any vampire draw and be more efficient than a cheaper one, in a small system with limited power source, it is not always efficient to run an inverter for one or two small devices. Vari Cyclone these fans are not cheap but work really well and do not suck up too much power. I have the four blade version in my cabin. Lights, pump, fan are all 12 volts and I only turn on the inverter to run a vacuum or similar. Obviously your needs will be based on power source, batteries etc.

nice work.

Quoting: creeky did you hang notched 2x6s on 2x4s attached to the wall studs for the floor of your loft?
No I just nailed the loft joist at every stud.
On the countertop I framed it out of 2x4 then added some 3/8 plywood so I could add the scrap t&g pine. We're really pleased with the end result!

Thanks for the photos, they explain a lot more than words can.
How are you going to insulate the celing? Did you put up a vapour barrier after the insulation but before the T & G pine?
What's the product on the outside? Is it something similar to "Smart Side"?

For now I plan on leaving the ceiling exposed. I may insulate and cover with T & G later.
I didn't put any vapor barrier up, maybe I'll regret it I dunno.
Yes its like the Smart Siding, resin on the outside and osb on the other.

Probably not.
I have to rebuild starting with the frame and was planning in osb on the exterior, tyvek, then Smart Side. Perhaps it's overkill but....

Thanks! Yeah the deck will keep us out of the mud. It'll have railings on it also so our 2 dogs can stay contained.

Too funny. Renogy and Ecotemp. Same setup I'm going with. How do you like both? I just saw they came out with 150w panels last week. I will be placing my order soon. Also, how are you venting the how water heater? I see that is the outdoor model.
Looks like your coming along great!

The solar is great! I didn't have water yet to test the water heater. I'm not sure how hot it gets, but I'm going to cut vents in both sides of the utility box. I may have to put metal on the cieling or a vent of some sort, we'll see...

It has been a while since I posted. I like your water tank and capture flush system. The only problem I see is your water tank needs to be painted black or enclosed. The opaque finish you have will allow a variety of unwanted growth inside your tank. I could be wrong, but I have seen similar advice posted here before. You have a great camp going on, and appear very well thought out especially the grilling deck and outside kitchen.
