Howdy, All.

I've got to second Brotherhayes on this one.... don't underestimate the time you will spend on the porch, and the space you will need there. My first cabin was a built up shed, that was 16 by 28, with a 12 by 6 porch on the front. We've used it for 7 years, but never spent much time on the porch due to space constraints.

We are now 75% done with cabin number 2, which I hope will last us the next 20 years. We didn't skimp on the porch space..

First, start with a really good deal on a used park model trailer...




Then come up with a floor plan for an additional bunkroom, and the all important porch.



Then spend 8 weekends building the addition... until it looks something like this on the outside....



Plan the next 4 weekends for interior finish out of the additional bunkroom..... no pics, yet, because I haven't done the work, yet.

Fit in a little fishing, only during construction breaks...



This fish is about 15 inches, and looks healthy. He was stocked at 4 inches, two years ago.

Sorry to be so long winded.... don't shortchange yourself on the porch... you will use it alot.
