"My wife and I bought the Little House plans from you in 2004. We finally started construction in May 2006.  We've been building it ourselves, so it's been slow going - but we've had a lot of fun! The cabin is sitting on a lake in Michigan's Upper Penninsula. We thought you might be interested to see some progress pics." Note: There is not an exact set of plans for this house. Rob extensively modified The Little House plans. He has a pretty complete description of how he did his build in the photo essay below.

A snug little cabin that uses the easy to build post and pier foundation.



The interior of the kitchen and the "L" shaped stair to the loft. The back door you see here
opens out to the porch project addition shown further down.

Rob sent in some additional photos of the interior treatment and especially the upstairs loft.



Here you can see the stairs coming up on the right and the small loft bedroom behind the door.



Another shot from the open loft area.

Putting up the last rafter. Good to have a helper.





Ah, yes..



Do we each get a tray of these?
