An 8?x 16?, 128-square foot, A-frame cabin on an elevated 3? concrete pin-point pier foundation with a 3?x 6?8? front flush door, one rear 48?x 48?horizontal slider window, and another upper 24?x 24? horizontal slider window for the sleeping loft.
Foundation:
(4) 8?- diameter cardboard cylindrical concrete forms for pin-point piers;
(4) 84? reinforcement rods for pin-point concrete forms;
(16) Bricks for base of footing;
(24) Layout stakes;
(8) 5? batter boards;
(1) Spool of wire for joining the two 14? reinforcement rods for each footing base;
(1) Spool of line for marking building layout lines;
(?) Bags of cement;
(?) Bags of gravel;
(?) Bags of sand?
*A few questions about the amount of concrete needed for the four footings and the four concrete piers: ?How much concrete will be needed for four 8?-deep concrete footings poured into four 16?-diameter, 44?-deep holes with each containing four bricks and the four reinforcement rod supports? How much concrete will be needed to fill four 8?-diameter pin-point concrete pier forms to an estimated height of about 80?-inches? How many total bags of cement, gravel and sand (aggregate) will my foundation require? Most importantly, how much will it all cost??
A-Frame Structural Triangle (Theoretical Dimensions):
Sides = 12?
Base = 8?
Angles opposite sides = 70.529 degrees
Angle opposite base = 38.942 degrees
Area = 45.255?
Framing:
(2) 2?x 10?x 16? girders;
(12) 2?x 6?x 12? rafters;
(6) 2?x 6?x 8? joists;
(4) 2?x 4?x 4? collar beams;
(10) 4?x 4? plywood sheets for subflooring;
(2) 16? framing braces for structural support against wind damage;
(?) 3200-square feet of roof/wall sheathing material for exterior surface areas?
*A few questions about the amount of roof/wall sheathing material needed to cover the 3200-square foot exterior surface area: ?How much exterior sheathing will I need? How much will it cost? I understand that metal sheathing is preferred in the Copper River Basin region for its snow-shedding ability, so, given everything I?ve just said, what are my options for the A-frame I recently designed??
