Fab.com, the slightly odd daily deals site for all things funky, is offering a little cabana-type house from Puck and Blossom for $21,500 down from the original retail price of $26,875 and the shipping is free. The total living space is 12’x16’ with double sliders and a roofed porch. This would be great for pool side, a small office, guest space or just a place to get away. According to the description, the structure takes two people and five hours to put together.
But wait, is this really a bargain? I think not when you can go to your local home building center and pick up a 12’x24’ storage shed for around $3700, swap out the doors with a pair of sliders for under $500 and have room for a tiny bath and kitchenette, all for probably less than half of the Fab.com deal. Of course it won’t be a Puck and Blossom (whoever they are) so you’ll lose the snob appeal, but since you’re going to have to have at least a modicum of familiarity with hand tools to put this thing together anyway, why not save some money and gain some substantial floor space? And remember what Red Green always said (with duct tape in hand) “If women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.”
