I was thinking along the same lines! Have a larger central cabin where the family can come together for meals and just hanging out, and then building several smaller satellite cabins as sleeping...
That subfloor may be made of particle board. If so, replace it with OSB or I prefer 3/4" plywood with one smooth face so you can put new vinyl on top. If you have a seam in the plywood, you can...

I pointed out several of the wrongs that I listed here and he looked at me like he was wanting to slap the crap outta me for pointing out the obvious problems. He shook his heads and turned away....
My son and I installed carpet in a kit home today along the Platte River near Fremont, NE. This was a typical mid-grade "log home' from a kit that just plain turned my stomach! Our customer bought...

I can't remember the magazine where I read it but there are several strawbale homes near Montgomery, AL that are pre-Civil War! Apparently, if done properly, straw bale is an excellent alternative to...
That liner comes in a roll about 4' wide. There is an adhesive that you can use to put 2 pieces together, it works great! I've built a shower that was 7' wide and 10' lone using that material and it...
Is it a shower pan only? How is the set-up? If it was mine, I would frame a small section of the wall and build my own showerpan and the put hardi-backer or durock on the wall and tile it. You can...
