I bought the plans from Relaxshacks.com.
It was some work, but it has turned out pretty nice.
I still have a few small things to do.

Nice work, Ryan! And is that a matching A-frame outhouse behind it?

I'm only 64! That's not to old to learn to be a permie, right?

Yes, that is an outhouse, and the cost to build this little cabin including art, stove, bedding was around 2100.00

I like it! Perfect summer accomodations.

I'm guessing you are in a mild climate; otherwise you would have included a giant woodpile in the photo.

Is this your primary residence? How did you gain access to the land?

We are in Tennessee.  It's just a play cabin, a sort of party hangout.
I wanted to build one and got busy.
Our home is maybe 70 feet away.

It's finished except for cleaning up the mess. Oh, and I gotta fashion a better system for holding up the convertible side window.

Out of curiosity, what is the floor dimension, and the peak height?

I have to admit that in my ecosystem, I'd put some sort of a gutter at the bottom of the liftable wall so that bit of the deck didn't rot out in one season. I might inset it so that it isn't a tripping hazard.

Nice! It's a hard shell tent with services and a comfy bed. And a sweet landscape to watch the natural light as it moves and shifts, and later you might actually see stars - whoa!. The perfect escape from the sterile city.

I have ordered plans to build a wooden yurt. It looks considerably more difficult,  and really, I'd sort of like to build another A frame.
