hi guys,
i am going to be building a small cabin on my semi rural property as a bushcraft spot and quiet spot to escape to.
instead of just putting up a tarp and calling it good, i wanted to build something slightly more structurally sound and solid.
i have access to a number of straight native trees to use as building material. and im not averse to buying in whatever is required.
my thought was to build a 4m x 2.4m mini cabin. under 10sqm is considered a shed so no council issues. A low pitch roof for water catchment and ibc tote for water storage.
Outdoor shower + humanure sawdust toilet
the land is relatively flat where i plan on building it but it is granite + top soil. so im at a loss for foundation or should i just use some besser bricks for the corners ?
materials available: limestone blocks, besser bricks, bush poles fresh and some seasoned, clear roof sheets, metal sheets.
any input would be appreciated
(yes ill add pics)
