[GBlist] Small cabin suggestion

["Craig Cyr" <cyr@whidbey.com>]

I need some advice and this list is never short on advice ;-)

My elderly mother might move to our home. However, we don't have enough
room and will need to construct a detached dwelling somewhere on our 5
acres (or whatever you want to call it) of about 250-300 sq. ft. No
kitchen will be required.

Some questions:

1) Recommendation on a style of construction? (panelized yurt, etc.)
2) Recommended web site with floor plans?
3) Special considerations that any of you might have had in similar
circumstances (elderly relative living in detached dwelling).

All input GREATLY received.

Craig
