TOUR & BUILD UPDATE: Tiny A-Frame Cabin Built From Scratch

See how our tiny cabin has transformed from a cold unfinished shell into a cozy all-season getaway. I call it a Man Cave. My wife calls it a She Shed. Whatever you call it, watch to the end for the official naming of my interpretation of 'The Dart' — a unique half A-frame design by Derek "Deek" Diedricksen.

Picking up where I left off after getting the cabin dried-in before last winter, you'll see how it has been insulated for the bitter cold winters here in northern Illinois. On the inside I'll show you the hardwood flooring i chose, rustic-style wall coverings, and a wood-burning stove. On the outside, two kinds of corrugated roofing were used to stop the leaking, and some decorative elements complete the "shanty chic" look. I’ll also show you the secret storage compartments in the floor, rustic decor, and custom furniture I built to make the most of this small space.

You’re sure to enjoy the real reactions of my friends and family upon seeing it for the first time.

It might look to others like I am just pretending to live off-the-grid in a backyard cabin. But I am actually using this backyard homestead project as a way to prep for the day I can do it in real life.
