    Over a year ago I drew a design for a 12×24 Cabin but never finished the plans. I was suffering from a sort of writer’s block. No form of therapy seemed to work to help me break free – not even reading Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art. Inspiring book – but other people’s answers rarely work for me. Back when I was a potter I had trouble finishing work too. I guess I just liked the time on the wheel when the clay was wet. Once the pots were ready to glaze I often lost interest unless the firing


    I'm thinking about using the above plan as a base and going from there

    I can't recall did you use a plan?

          If you told me you could build a house for under $50 / ft I would have called bull **** all day long no matter how much work you did yourself. Impressive sir.

              You can build a very nice "custom home" on a slab for less than $80 per sq. ft.

                BIL has been painting and adding a few things to the outside. Thought I would update with a pic.

                I added stairs to the right side off the master bedroom porch and he did all the skirting.

                  has to be one of my top 5 favorite threads. Jason, you're a skilled craftsman and a very humble person. The world would be a lot better place if there were more like you. Beautiful home, sir. Hope all is well with the family!!
