Building An Elkview from 84 Lumber

Day 11

This small 576 square foot cottage is the answer for many in the aftermath of Katrina. With two bedrooms, bathroom, living rooom, and kitchen - this cottage fulfills dreams of many who lost their homes and were left with little to no funds to build a home. For $9,800 approximately we can black in the home on pilings. For about $8,000 more we can complete the inside inclusive with air conditioning, cabinets, washer/dryer, fridge, freezer, and flooring.

Every day we plan to post the progress on this home.

Headed for a solution - Off to build the second set of back stairs, finish the porch railing, complete front stairs railing.
