Another enjoy-as-you-build cabin, designed by Architect Walter D. Widmeyer with a shoreside location in mind. Here, stage one is more than just a glorified camp; it has a 16 x 20 foot sleeping-living area complete with kitchenette, toilet and shower, dressing space, fireplace, and a spacious sun deck. If yours is a family which wants more than basic comforts, even at the beginning, this plan should fit your budget today with room for future growth. In the second stage, a 12 x 20 addition at the rear provides two bedrooms with sleeping facilities for up to six people. Because Architect Widmeyer specifies fir plywood for walls, roof, and floors, materials for the first stage should only run you around $1,000. Plywood makes it easy for you to build yourself; and even if you contract the work, easy-to-handle plywood will cut building time and costs. Materials for the second stage should be about $500; plumbing and fixtures, $600. The complete job, for materials only, should not run much over $2,100. The "Expandable" offers a wonderful opportunity to get started right now at getting away from it all on a scale that provides real holiday comforts on a budget.
