Shelter No.2 Has Arrived!

 

Shelter No. 2, the second plan in the small-home Shelter Collection has arrived!

It is shown in the above rendering with combination lap & shingle siding and a steel & shingle roof. It also features classic details like exposed rafter tails and shutters. Oh, to ease into a lounge chair on that porch with a glass of iced tea in one hand and a book in the other...

You may read a detailed description of the interior of Shelter No. 2 here, and purchase both the study plan and building plan in the shop. 

In the study plan, which can be printed on 8 1/2 x 11 paper on your home printer, you will find the floor plan for Shelter No. 2, with both footprint and interior room dimensions, and exterior elevations of all four sides. Also included is a detailed compilation of useful information that I've written for anyone who is dreaming about building this house. Speaking of, because I wanted everyone to be able to dream a little, the study plan is priced at only $10. 

The building plan includes the set of construction plans that any licensed contractor could build from. In addition to construction details, it also includes the drawings for all the built-in cabinetry and wardrobes, the bed nooks for the upstairs bedrooms, the master bed platform with under-bed drawer storage, the the kitchen cabinet design (which includes a 4-bin recycle center), and the design for the stair handrail, balusters, and newel post. The Building Plan can be printed at any establishment with a large format printer (Staples, Office Max, The UPS Store, etc). The Shelter No. 2 Building Plan is priced at $2000.

Next One Tomorrow!

 

I'm thrilled to say that I finally received the completed file just yesterday...

People? Shelter No. 2, the second in the Shelter Collection of small house plans will be released here tomorrow! Look for a rare Saturday post with links to the Study Plan and Building Plan in the shop. 

Now we're off on this clear blue-sky day, to sit in that yellow sun and watch our boy race. Oh, that sounds nice...

Wishing you the loveliest of weekends, friends!

It's Spring

 

When the rain pats at the tin roof and the petals of yokey sunshine burst in the jar on the dining table, it's spring. 

When the dog comes in all silly-smiled and tongue-lolled, tracking a mud-trail behind, it's spring. 

When the windows slide open for the exchange of air-worn-out for air-fresh, it's spring.

When the golden eagle carts that branch larger than herself through the air, flying toward her nesting site, it's spring.

When the attention of everyone inside keeps swinging toward the outside, it's spring. 

When four pair of running shoes are scatter-tossed by the door, it's spring.

When the perpetual jug of sweet tea reappears in the fridge, it's spring. 

When the trees are fat-budded and bark-tinged green, it's spring. 

 

How is spring showing up for you?
