Shacks


The plans for what we've been calling "shotgun shacks" - the design doesn't actually qualify as such since it doesn't have a back door - is nearing readiness. It's basically a one room cabin with a door and 4 windows and a propane heater. There's a small porch, a little loft, a sink and a small counter, a bit of furniture, and that's about it. No electricity (yet), and no other plumbing. The interior area is about 80 feet square. It would make a nice artist's studio or small office, or small crafts workshop. We'll see what the hermits think of them.
The roof profile is based on the practical rural buildings found in Arkansas and Missouri.
