Non permanent residence
Foundations: A wood 6x6 skid is the most common way to get started with a smaller cabin. We ask that a gravel pad or pad of sort is put in first. Concrete blocks polly and treated 2x6 are put down to keep the 6x6 off the ground. The sub floor can be 3x6 treated pine to make a solid non insulated floor. The sub floor can also be framed sheeted and insulated to suite you needs. When doing the roof system we offer 1x6 and 2x6 pine t&g, poly trusses ,insulation sheeted with ply wood and then either shingles or tin.
