I'm trying to design the cabin for the farm. It would be a lot easier to build a big place. But its taking a lot of thought to build something to get the max use out of the least space. And have the options and look I want. Stairways are a pain and take up a lot of space but I want a room up stairs with a good view. I got tired of trying to design a cabin for the farm on graph paper. So I went out and got a home design software. Want a bedroom for Dad on the main floor and a small gust room. Two bedrooms up stairs with a loft. A observation reading room popup where I can see all the way around. And at least a 6' walkway where I can walk around the house when its raining
I am trying to make it open without hallways so the heat will move easier. I also want a loft and a open room main room. I know that a cathedral ceiling is inefficient to heat but I want it. Would it be better to put the stove under the loft to help break up and move the heat?
Here's what I got so far. I can't get the floor plan to export to jpg just some funky extension I can open or convert.
It is 24x40 right now but I may shorten it up to 24x38. That will give me a 10x14 bedroom for dad and 10x10 pantry which may end up having the basement stairway in it on one side. Then a open 20x24 or 18x24 combination kitchen living room in the center with a bay in the front where you can look out and to the sides. Then a 10x12 guest room and 10x12 bathroom. And my bathroom rant. Why is the toilet always in the bathroom? Why are we trying to get clean in the dirtiest place in the house? I am going to put my toilet in a room adjoining the bathroom. That you can enter from either the main room or bathroom . And its going to have urinal in it so I can hit it when I am half asleep or been drinking and the girls can have the seat down like thy like it.
Then in the roof on second story. I will have a 10x14 bedroom on each side, And a 10x20 or 18 loft between. And finally a 12' hexagonal room in the third story. That I can watch the wild animals or weather or read in.
I don't know if I can do it this year or next but I am trying to get it all worked out.
