A $10,000 owner-built cabin using the Little House Plans Kit.

The owner used friends and family to put this home together and purchased $500 worth of “outside labor”. I assume this was for the hookups for electrical and plumbing. The siding looks like stained plywood with 1x3 battens, the roof galvanized iron - simple and direct.

kitchen with pine wood paneling, an eating bar with stools, and a ladder up to the loft — **Kitchen** of the $10,000 cabin - Small but workable, the bathroom door is on the right and the ladder goes up to an office in the loft. Note the pine wood paneling.

loft office with a ponderosa pine board ceiling and a desk under the window — **The loft office** - The owner put up used ponderosa pine 1x12 on the ceiling and finished it with polyurethane clear varnish.

main floor bedroom seen from the loft above — **The Bedroom from the loft** - Here the owner extended the standard plan for a main floor bedroom.
