saw this years ago in Mother Earth News, and recently came back across it.
You might get some nice/simple ideas for a cabin for your BOL.
IIRC back then they said the entire thing could be built very cheaply and I guess it's all relative, but still shouldn't cost an arm and leg now days.
Sleeps 3, gravity fed shower/water, compost toilet etc.

What's the snow load for that flat roof?

that would probably be a good question to ask the folks that designed/made it.

I'm kinda thinking if you build one yourself, that you'll put a slant roof on it by using up a couple more sheets of plywood and some more 2x's....

Yeah, we don't get too much snow here in Mid. Tenn. but I'd still want a good sloping roof.

If the place is as small as it looks, it only has about a 12 foot span. It should hold up about anything Tennessee gets easily.

Try here for some ideas. I had a link to a much better site at one time, but it appears that it is now defunct..
