Get the Plans to this Awesome A-Frame Cabin for Under $2,000

Everywhere Co.

These days, it seems like if you don’t own, aren’t building, or aren’t actively booking yourself a week-long vacation in a cozy A-frame cabin in the woods, you are missing out on both the joy of the outdoors and the pleasure of this niche architectural style.

Thankfully, Everywhere Travel Co., a builder of tiny homes, has unveiled its plan to sell the architectural plans to its new

Ayfraym A-Frame

cabin so you can take building your cabin in the woods (or on the mountain, or by a lake) into your own hands.

Everywhere Co.

Everywhere Travel Co. describes the Ayfraym as a cabin with “three large walkout cedar decks, large custom windows, [and] vaulted ceilings with rustic-modern wood beams. It includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms. One of those bedrooms is a unique bunk room that includes four bunk spaces for comfortable sleeping. An upper loft with lookout windows at the very top of the cabin is a fun way to escape and get cozy with your favorite book.”

This sounds like our idea of a dream lakehouse, mountain cabin, or general country getaway.

To be clear: These are just the plans for the cabin. Sorry, but there’s no chance in hell that you’d ever be able to buy or build an A-frame of 1,574 square feet for the $1,950 it costs to buy these plans. However, once you purchase the plans, you’re more than welcome to hire your own contractor, engineer, electricians, plumbers, etc. to get started on your build right away. If you’d rather have Everywhere Co. handle it, they can do that, too. And, if you’d rather Everywhere provide you with your building materials and just go it alone, that’s also a possibility. Ballsy.

Once you purchase your plans, Everywhere Co. will send you an immediately available PDF of the architectural renderings and schematics, followed by a shipment that includes printed construction plans, reading materials, a doorknob (to get an idea of the sense of style), a hammer, a hat, and a mug.

Basically, Everywhere Co. wants to make it as easy as possible for you.

Totals costs are estimated to be between $252,000 and $277,000, depending on location and materials.

Happy building.

5 reasons why ‘Adolescence’ on Netflix is a must-watch
The series is told in four single take episodes that feel like real time
The cast of Adolescence.

Netflix makes it difficult to tell which shows are worth your time. New shows pop up every week, and discerning the good from the bad is nearly impossible. Sometimes, though, something breaks through all the noise on the server and reminds everyone what great TV can and should look like.

Adolescence, which hit the streamer on March 13, is one such show, and it's one you should definitely make time for. The series, which is just four episodes long, follows a family who find themselves confronting the unthinkable after their 13-year-old son is arrested for murdering a schoolmate. As they attempt to reckon with the fallout, they learn more about exactly what their son is accused of. Here are five reasons you should make time for this show:

8 power-packed shows like Succession to add to your watchlist
Family dramas and sarcastic societal critiques that are just like 'Succession'
Brian Cox as Logan Roy

Succession finished in 2023, but many TV diehards are still searching for an adequate replacement. This Jesse Armstrong-created drama carried HBO's legacy of quality programming for a quartet of iconic seasons. The Roy children battle inner turmoil and traumatic family relationships when their wealthy father decides to start trying out replacement CEOs for his business. Succession's gorgeous set pieces and dense characters make it feel like a Shakespearean experience updated for a modern audience. Talented actors like Jeremy Strong, Brian Cox, and many others brought a supreme script to life.

If you're like me, you miss the family drama, backstabbing, and political commentary used in Succession. In that case, you should check out these dramas and black comedies that incorporate more than a couple of the show's elements into their arsenal. Not every show on this list has three Emmys for Outstanding Drama Series, but in my opinion, all of them are fantastic. You'll love these shows like Succession if you're a fan of great TV.
