The Marmara - From Jay Shaefer
I recently went on a “mini - vacation” to visit family up north (I’m from New Brunswick). One of the things I enjoy doing while driving is to spot homes that would fall under the tiny home umbrella and see if there are any potential opportunities to purchase or build one.
This cabin seems promising. For $6000, you’ll get exactly what is seen in the picture. It’s approximately 350 sq ft. Of course you’d have to insulate yourself, and whichever direction you’d like to go for wiring would be up to you, but I see this as a great base to work with when creating a minimalist tiny home that is completely off the grid.
Industrial strength tiny home that is built with SIP panels and has R values that can with stand temps of 40 below Zero!
I’ve been addicted to watching videos of small houses and seeing how people use the space but this is by far my favorite. I would love, love, love to live here <3
Foundation and floor are complete! The walls go up tomorrow.
If you don’t know, we’ve opted for a “tiny house“ but it is actually a bit bigger than most tiny houses. The cabin will be 16 x 16 with a spacious loft.
