The carpenter finished the area where the cabin is attached to the foundation. This is the part of the process I have had the most questions about, so I’m telling you everything I’ve seen. The cabin is attached to the foundation and has passed another …
After the cabin was placed by the crane, a carpenter showed up to attach the cabin to the sill plate on the block foundation. Sill Plate : How the Modular Home Attaches to the Foundation > This part of the plan shows the Typical Wall …
The crane was rescheduled because of weather. First thing yesterday morning the dogs lost their minds. Trucks and a crane were pulling in. We are finally going to have the cabin out of the mud and sitting on the foundation! It had been beautiful for …
On Crane Day! Part 1, the crane was set up and the cabin was prepared. They lifted one end of the cabin with cable on a spreader bar and slid a second cable under the cabin. They put a bunch of blocks and timbers under …
The cabin is stuck in the mud in front of the foundation. Now that the rain has stopped, it doesn’t look nearly as bad. A guy from a crane company is coming on Monday to take a look at the situation. The crane is scheduled …
The weather has been beautiful, but the night before the cabin was to be delivered it rained. And rained and rained and rained. As the sun came up there were puddles everywhere and it was cold and pouring rain. Westwood Cabins sent us an email …
The foundation is ready for the cabin to be delivered. I’ve been asked for a floor plan with a progress list with links, so here it is. Click to Open Westwood Cabin Floor Plan and Front Elevation Modified Creekside Manor 3016 14′-8″ x 52′-0″ Approved …
Taylor showed up Friday and dropped off a load of gravel. He says it’s to put in the foundation drains. Foundation drains or footing drains are put in just outside the foundation walls to drain water away so it won’t seep into the foundation. Ours …
How do you connect a modular home to the foundation? The foundation connects to a sill plate with anchor bolts. Then the cabin will attach to the sill plate. There is a seal between the block and the wood to keep moisture from wicking through. …
One way we lowered the cost for our pre-fab cabin foundation is to use Thoroseal parging instead of a stucco finish on the block. Thoroseal is not actually Thoroseal anymore. It is now called MasterSeal 582. There are a lot of variations of MasterSeal. The …
We really like two plans from Westwood Cabins in South Carolina. Both have one bedroom, one bathroom and a really good kitchen.
We looked over a lot of photos on the Westwood Cabins website gallery and their Facebook page to get an idea how these will really look.
Westwood Cabin Floor Plan 3003
This floor plan has the biggest closet, a walk-in closet with room for a stacked washer and dryer. The bathroom has two sinks. That matters to some people. I’d rather have the counterspace. There is a small linen closet.
I like the high open ceiling. They used some open shelving. I prefer closed cabinets to hide the clutter.
This could be the bedroom.
This shows the whole wall and the hallway. The could be wide enough to use as another room.
Here is the washer and dryer stacked in the master closet.
There is a pocket door from the bedroom to the closet. This leaves wall space for a TV.
Westwood Cabin Floor Plan 3004
This plan has a bigger kitchen and a laundry room. The closet isn’t as big, but it’s not as tiny as a lot of the closets I’m seeing in pre-fab cabins.
I really do love this kitchen.
The island adds a lot of counter space and we won’t need a table.
This isn’t actually the laundry room on the plan, but it would be similar.
The bedroom is small. The space goes to the laundry room. The closet gets bi-fold doors.
So, I think it is between these two plans. Or a variation of the two.
Whatever we do, we are going to add a nice big porch.
