Tiny Home?

We bought a used tiny cabin from some nice folks in mountain brook for $800. Only 8x8. We'd been exploring options for a camping / weekend stay type solution for our property which is 90 minutes from our main home and think this will be perfect. Also we'd been wanting a place to store a few garden tools we'd prefer to keep dry and not stolen. Had the cabin moved 90 miles by a tow truck company for $400. It's a bit teensy and empty at the moment, but thinking about putting a tiny wood burning stove (like you see in boats) for heating and some cooking, a futon and hammocks for seating and sleeping,  some solar panels for power, the upper loft for storage, a canopy, picnic table, and grill (or Cobb stove?) for outdoor living space, an outhouse and potentially an outdoor shower for an outdoor bathroom. 

A friend of ours built his grill from scratch using river rocks and I think it's just beautiful (pictures to come of that).

These first two pictures are the before shots before we bought the place.


Moving day:

Cabin in its new home (little knocked up from the move but help together rather well). Note: always make sure grounds super dry before moving these things. Truck for stuck. Neighbor with tractor came to the rescue but it was a bit of a mess. "City people" mistake.
