Right at 975. Plenty of room for me and my lovely wife.
The 3400 SF log-home kit is on order though, and will be delivered in 4 50' semi's in Feb. to our mountain in tennessee. I'm hoping it'll be assembled and "turn-key" by June1.3770 Long Branch Rd. Lancaster Tenn.GOD !!! I CAN'T WAIT!!![^][^]

House is 2,100 sq Ft., 800 more in the basement. Shed is 500; Barn? I have no idea. Land is over 3,024,000 square feet. 0 -
I have a 1,200 sq. ft. log cabin that I built myself. It is very cozy.
One bedroom, one bath, big living room, huge covered porches.
I do wish I had built it a little bigger. Hard to have overnight guests in a small house.
I may do an addition, likewise, hard to do with a log house.0 -
How about 96 square feet?
For most Americans, bigger means better when it comes to home size. But for a small number of people, the extreme opposite is true. They prefer to live in tiny dwellings that are to normal-sized houses what bonsai are to trees: miniaturized but not diminished. These super-downsized homes are eco-friendly, affordable and built with an extraordinary attention to detail.
For the most part, these minihouse owners are single and idealistic. They aim to live simply, help the environment and cut down on costs. Jay Shafer, a 41-year-old art-professor-turned-designer, is one. For the past seven years, he has built and lived in houses smaller than 100 square feet - a teeny fraction of the average 2,439-square-foot American home. He's currently putting the finishing touches on a new, jewel-like home, set in a valley near Sebastopol, Calif. It measures 8 by 12 feet, is made of cedar and pine, and features a loft bedroom, front porch, fireplace and gabled roof with a Gothic window. There's a 4-by-5-foot kitchen (smaller than a full-size mattress) with a cooktop and minifridge, and a 2-by-4-foot bathroom dominated by the shower. Shafer says this kind of house suits him perfectly. "You should feel the space is taking care of your needs and not demanding a lot in return," he explains. Beyond that, he adds, "Making it small is the best way to make a house green."
Shafer's six-year-old Tumbleweed Tiny House Company (www.tumbleweedhouses.com) offers homes ranging in size from 70 to 850 square feet, with prices from $20,000 to $90,000 per house. He says he has sold 10 tiny houses, and half those orders came in the past year. That's partly thanks to Hurricane Katrina. For a few who lost everything in the storm, tiny houses have become a practical solution. Shafer sold an 8-by-16-foot house to Julie Martin, a hurricane survivor from Bay St. Louis, Miss., who liked it so much she's marketing one of his designs as a temporary home for other survivors.
Shafer's very first customer, Gregory Paul Johnson, 42, has been living comfortably for the past three years in a 140-square-foot house on wheels in Iowa City that cost $15,000 to build. Johnson started the Small House Society, whose mailing list has expanded to 400 members. Technology, Johnson says, has helped make tiny living feasible. He saves space by watching TV shows on his iPod and using his laptop as a stereo. The thoughtful design of his house also helps. "Because everything's proportional, your brain doesn't think you're in a small space," Johnson says, adding that he can imagine living happily in his "mobile hermitage" for a long time. But, he concedes, "if it was much smaller, I'd feel a little cramped." And how small is too small? Says Shafer, "As long as I have elbow room, I'm O.K."0 -
