Week 2

I have been playing around with different designs all week and I think I've got things pretty well sorted out.
-There is going to be a foundation (blocks) unless I can find a deal on some treated lumber for skids.
-The floor plan is 8x12. This keeps me within the 100 sq ft requirement, and means I won't have to rip any plywood.
-The height is going to be 12ft along one of the 12ft sides, with the opposite wall at 10ft. This will allow plenty of angle to keep the water and snow running off, and allow me to have a decent sized loft.

Also this week I started researching different methods of power. I do have a few solar panels, which I plan on using eventually, but I am also interested in wind.

I've been reading and studying different framing designs tying to learn a little of the vocabulary that goes with building and to make sure that I am drawing my plans correctly.

Pictures will be posted soon.
