My cabin i put in 1993 consist of a amish built storage building 12x20 cottage style 3 cheap windows and steel entrance door. I did it back in the day of a shoe string budget but still had it quite nice for what i could do. I started by insulating well walls and ceiling, 100 amp service, 3- 1k watt electric baseboard heater, sink base with dry sink but have abucket underneath to catch dishwater, 1 wall cabinet, 1/2 table, small bathroom just commode, comm. carpet with heavy padding, paneling on walls, and ceiling tile. Sounds neat but little cramped in 12x20 also a double bed.
Now what i would like to do is have a shower cant stand myself after a few days. I would like to add on a 12 wide 16' deep the only option i have is go like L shape on one end. The left side keeping me from going that way is my utility pole, plus my water and sewage line. The other side woods in way, grade, and water on oppisite side along with commode, etc. I was pricing a building that size just shell and they want 2,500.00 i know i can do the same shell myself much cheaper. Looking for tips inside im a 1/2 but carpenter and wanted to be efficient most econimic way. One thing i only turn heat on when im there i just pour anti freeze in commode and my main water suppy is a yard hydrant in bathroom with 2 small garden hoses coming off. One hose is hooked to commode other one is just there for my regular water usage. Has worked well in last years. I used a luwan paneling back than everyone telling me that would be the best since i didnt have heat all the time. Has anything changed to this aspect? Is there any truth to things not working right since heat iant there all the time? What does everyone else do for interior walls and need plubling tips along with what hot water heater. Im always by myself so dont need much. I figured since i was doing al of this i would go ahead and hook up sink.
