Free Plans – 8×8 Tiny House v.3

- 10 Comments - Add a Comment

Last night I posted version 2 of this free house plan but I had missed a couple of important things, windows in the loft and a materials list. I think this will be the final version of this plan except for minor corrections if they are needed. After getting some very good feedback I’ve decided to draw up an 8×16 Tiny House for my next set of free plans. It will have a simple passive solar design and shed roof, much like Elizabeth Turnbull’s tiny house, but I will try to show how to keep the cost to build very low. Here is the link for the latest version of the 8×8 Tiny House Plans.

    I can’t wait!

    With the slant roof, the potential for a Mod design is very possible. Larger and longer windows like the Micro Compact House perhaps? Dark wood paneling with metal or aluminum moldings would add a nice touch.

    …forgot to mention the Price for Materials Spreadsheet is most appreciated!

    How wonderful of you! Thank you for this.

    Also, thank you for answering my questions that I’d posted last night. I recently bought a few books for (ideal) preparation of undertaking such a project:

    A question regarding a tiny house, like the one you intend to design: is it improbable to have a small woodstove inside of one?

  7. I think a wood stove is possible but difficult because they require more spacing around them and fireproof surfaces. The last time I installed one I remember it coming with some specifications that describe how far from walls and what kind of flooring etc was acceptable. Be sure to follow the manufacturers specs and common sense. I’d also look for the smallest stoves possible.

    Thanks for posting this — I saw the 5/8″ plywood listed on the materials list, but it looks like you’ve listed everything in the drawings as 3/4″…. did I miss something?

    thx!
    Jeff

  10. Might be a typo. You could use either. for the walls… you could even go 1/2″ on the walls. The roof and floor I’d suggest keeping at 3/4 or thicker.
