My New Homestead

So, I was on here at one point asking about different building techniques and whatnot(mostly with Roger), but let's be honest, none of you remember that so the first part of this post is basically pointless.
Basically, I'm really into the tiny home movement and decided its time for me to get one of my own. I was discussing earth bag homes, yurts and a few other options, but in the end I went to a shed company and had them put together a nice little 'Cabin' for me. Dimensions are 32x12 with 10' sidewalls and here's what we've got so far...
From the front(4x4s will be replaced shortly with actual logs. They had cut them incorrectly and have to redo them):
Side:
Unfinished Interior....
Loft/future bathroom:
Kitchen/living area:
Interior from up in the loft/bedroom:
And here's a few pictures(in reverse) of how I was initially planning the setup. Was going to do everything in stone, but now I'm really liking the wood look and will probably stick with it(with some form of stone flooring). Note: this was a free app, so the chairs and everything were all I had to choose from. Also, besides the bathroom/utility closet, everything will be open to 'cathedral' ceilings
And a generic floor plan:
So far, I've got 14k in the cabin as it stands and it's sitting on 23 acres. Can't wait to get moved in, but for now, I just wanted to share with somebody
Yes, I'm OT poor.

When my kids are out of my house, me and the better half want to do something similar. What area do you live?

Looks real nice. How much insulation are you putting in the walls? Will this be batts or blown in? How are you insulating the attic/ roof space?

My dad would be so jealous. He always talks about doing something like that.

Nice.
I love cabins. I've been wanting to put one on our land.

Was there a digital rendering of how the upstairs will look?

That is really cool. How many bedrooms upstairs?

Run at least SOME kind of gas line for emergency heat in a winter storm- if not for cooking also.

If my wife would leave me, I would do something similar.
Very cool place. Any deer on the 23 acres?

I remember talking to you about cob homes. I like your setup, though.

Buckeye...what app did you use for your drawing?
I'm in the design/setup phase of doing something similar in the next couple months. I've tried Google SketchUp, but I can't get it to properly represent wall thickness like you have (pretty damn important with a Tiny Home).

Ended up picking up these ceramic floor tiles for .95 a piece from Lowe's. Went with a slightly darker color, but I'll post pictures after the installation.

Awesome. It's good to see someone actually do it instead of just talk about it. My wife and I have discussed this sort of thing for years. We're wanting to relocate out west first though, and that's going to require some career moves. Maybe someday.
Anyway, great work. I'm jealous.

I'm open to come up next hunting season and scout the deer here for your farming operations if needed. I will bring everything I need to keep me contained during my visit.
I'll come with 4 just to help him with the gas & driving.

This looks awesome, how you going to heat it in the ohio winter? I was thinking of doing something like this if I get a more permanent job in central Pennsylvania, but winter can be a bitch for heating.
