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.

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!

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.

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

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:

Black & Decker: Complete Guide to Wiring
Black & Decker: Complete Guide to Plumbing
House Framing: Plan, Design, Build

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.
