Free Building Plans?

If you're planning on building a barn, cabin, shed or just about anything else in 2011, you can save a few dollars if you can find free plans that work for your needs.

I've been trying to assemble a list of all of the best plans that are available for free on the Internet. Please take a look: Todays Plans You might find something that helps.

I hope that 2011 is a good year for you all.

Don

If you do buy plans, only buy one set. Then you take it down to a blue print place and get it copied for all the copies the permit people want.

By following one of the links in the original post, I found the basic plan I used to build my homestead home.

http://www.todaysplans.net/use-freep...ans-cabin.html

I changed things around a little to accommodate contemporary pre-fab windows and a set of stairs, but that was the basic layout. I paid $30 for the plans, but I've seen it for free a few times.

Glad that you like the plans. I'll try to keep adding new ones and to keep the site up-to-date.

Nevada, That's one of Charles Kirkland's cabin designs. Yours looks good already. It will look great when it's done.
