>>2435397My cabin was from Derksen (pic is my model).
Ya people talk shit about these but they're built with real 2x4's, hurricane hangers etc. If anybody wants to talk shit then I expect a timestamp pic from their $1,800 a month studio apartment.
These are not like a mobile home that needs special wall sockets because the walls are only 1x1's. They're actually built like a house.
It was a raw interior so I had to do all the electrical, plumbing and drywall myself but it let me build how I wanted off the open floorplan.
The cost was way to much considering what I could have built from scratch for the same price but I bought it on Monday and it was dropped on my property on thursday. I actually hadn't planned on buying property and I just kind of wound up here so I needed something fast.
Building itself was about $5k- it was slightly used.
Shit like electrical wire I bought off amazon- $50 for 200 feet of 12/2 that cost $120 at lowes.
Large items like bathroom sinks or kitchen counter tops I shopped around for. I was a little particular on the counter tops so spent a little extra.
One thing that was nice is I stuck outlets where ever the fuck I wanted. There's 2 behind my couch. There's 3 in the bathroom. There's 4 behind my TV. Hell, there's 3 in my closet because fuck it, it's right next to the 36 breaker panel.
Plumbing was easy buy electrical kind of got out of hand because I didn't want to just daisy chain sockets all over (code is 8) so I used a lot of wire to isolate sections.
I have a friend that's a manager at Home Depot and he hates throwing away open returns (they do this everyday) so my flooring is kind or random tile. Same with my faucets but they're actually the style I would have bought anyways.
Kitchen cabinets are from a local "overstock" type place. I stopped by there every weekend for about 5 months before they had something I liked.
Overall it's about $15k and a lot of work.
