Seems to me that it'd be easy to heat such as small space with a Mother Earth heat grabber.

I'm calling it the Skid House because it seems like an ideal place to flop or take shelter. It also sits on 4x6 skids. It should be super inexpensive to build and could be loaded on a flatbad trailer with a winch. I also have a 10x10x10 house in mind. You might want to check Peter King out too, he doesn't sell plans but he's very funny and has a great little cabin design. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VV2MBo-ZMM -Michael Hi Sarah,

I like your designs. I plan on building a tiny house in the fall. I need to put it on a trailer in case I ever need to move locations, and, I need a design for a 10x10 or a 8x12. Do you know where I could find one of these plans? I am trying to build a tiny home on a 5,000$ budget and it needs to be canadian winter cozy. Thanks a bunch for any links you can provide! Cheers.

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. Might be a typo.

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. Kent at tiny house blog did a good post a while back on this topic.
