Shell
These are Amish-built cabin shells, framed by Amish builders, not a factory line. Shelf price is the shell. Finished price includes the interior. Plans are layout drawings designed by the Tiny Homes Designs in-house architectural team. Some states and counties require an engineer stamp. The buyer arranges that stamp locally. We do not stamp plans.
