12 Things I Wish I Knew Before Building a House

What happens here

A-frame cabins typically suffer from limited traditional closet storage due to their sloped walls. The original design for this cabin included a dedicated furnace room and a laundry room, with only a small hallway closet. The solution to maximize space for a water heater was to install a tankless water heater within the utility closet, allowing for some additional storage for brooms, vacuums, and other cleaning supplies. However, the only actual dedicated closet for clothes and linens was found in the primary bedroom. This design necessitates innovative storage solutions like dressers or built-in shelving units in bedrooms, as there's minimal conventional closet space.

Goal: Maximize storage options in an A-frame cabin despite limited conventional closet space.
