Our friend @elevatedspaces just sent along some new photos from a recently finished project. He writes: “After California’s wildfires vaporized our previous cabin we haven’t quite been ready to invest much emotion or money into rebuilding. Still, Molly (my wife) and I were yearning to build something with friends, so I worked up this little A-frame hut that’s super-efficient with time and materials. It’s just under 120 square feet (meaning it won’t require a permit in many areas) and used only $2500 in materials. (Yes, that’s 2022 prices.) None of the roof panels needed to be cut and most of the plywood are full sheets. Ours is half suspended in a couple of redwoods with Garnier Limbs, but it obviously doesn’t have to be. The siding is Canadian hemlock and the floors and ceiling are cheap plywood. The queen-size bed frame is pine boards and 2x4s, and the bedside tables are built from the scrap furring and siding. We built the whole thing over two weekends and I have to say it felt very rewarding to stand in a structure with our friends, under a roof that didn’t exist just that morning. Like old times”.
