Thanks Carol, Pahoated, kalakoa, DoryGray,
Rob, I was thinking a permitted, permanent structure, 40' with external bathroom, 2 bedrooms (loft), open design with only 1 or 2 interior walls on the ground floor.
Solar, water catchment (off grid). And my wife and I would live on the site to help build it.
I've seen 'kits' online, but I thought a contractor would be needed anyway, so why not have him do the whole thing, or should I buy a kit and hire a contractor to put it together.
What material do you recommend for framing? How about the lanai extensions ?
And what material do you cover it with ?
