hey folks! i have to leave my rental home (which is sad), but i have the opportunity to build my own tiny home on a friend's
land (score!). i am thinking under 150 sq feet, maybe 100 sq feet and as simple as possible. i need to start building in a month or two. so what kind of tiny home
should i build? i have lots of sheep fleece for insulation, but i would have to buy lumber in order to build a stick frame and it's the wrong time of year to build a
cob house (i think?). would buying lumber to build my own permanent yurt be cheaper than buying lumber for a stick frame? what about a
hay bale
cabin? or is it the wrong time of year to build with bales? i am considering borrowing an old rv so i can wait and build with
cob and/or bales in the summer...or maybe i will build a yurt with wooden siding. anyway, i have a few choices for sites, one being on solid rock in the sun and the others being beneath maple
trees (less
solar, but waaay more privacy). i definitely wouldn't put
cob in the shade, but other than that, i dunno! i love natural buildings, but i've never tried building them. the most building i've done is building stick frame duck house and
greenhouse. anyway, please
shower me with your suggestions and with general awesomeness! cuz you folks are awesome! thanks!!!
