The Cabin Project

I just HAD to share this with everyone!  I'd so much love to build a cabin like this - somewhere. Wouldn't that be so cool!?   I know ~ I live in the woods already, but to have something like this tucked away from "the world's problems" would be ideal. Self-sufficient for water and power too!  Come on... I know that all the hunters out there would love this for at least a hunting cabin, am I right?  I don't hunt by the way, except by camera, so I would love to peek out the window or sit outside and capture photos of the wildlife too. Anyway, here is how Hometalk presented this project.

Creating A Quiet, Self-Sufficient Place To Stay At The Farm 

There is something magical about a cabin – especially one that is completely self sufficient – yet comfortable to stay in for a night or two. A peaceful place to get away, relax, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.  Designed and built to mimic an old world chicken coop. The cabin will be powered with solar panels, a rain water collection system for all non-drinking water needs, a compostable toilet, shower, and a small kitchen. Keeping with the overall theme of the farm, we would like to use recycled materials whenever and where ever possible.They hope that by late next spring they can complete the cabin project. But we can keep in touch to see how it fares by signing up for their update notices.
