On-Demand Water Heater – Installed a high-efficiency system to provide instant hot water while reducing energy waste.
New Plumbing & Fixtures – Updated water lines and added modern fixtures for reliability and ease of use in a remote setting.
Custom Cabinetry & Shelving – Designed and built storage solutions to maximize the small footprint, keeping essentials organized without cluttering the space.
Custom Furniture – Crafted durable, functional furniture scaled perfectly for the cabin, including a multi-purpose table, stools, and a sturdy loft bed.
The result is a thoughtfully updated cabin that blends modern convenience with handcrafted details, making off-grid living not only practical but inviting.
