Steps

  1. When I started to build my small cabin I searched for various bits of information, but could not find a one concise, clear and complete guide on how to build a small cabin or a small cottage using my own skills and resources.
  2. Main objectives when building a small cabin were:
    • Easy to build yourself - no special skill required
    • Use of easily available building materials
    • Low cost
    • Simplicity of cabin design and structure
    • Short construction time
    • No building permit required (optional).
    • To have a feel of great outdoor living and wilderness experience.
