Thank you to all of you that have been following our website and our blog from the beginning - we really appreciate your interest and loyalty! We've recently made a few changes to how your comments will appear on our blog in an effort to eliminate all of the spam posts that have made it difficult for us to respond to your legitimate questions and comments. All of the comments you leave on our blog posts from this day forward are going to be subject to approval by a website administrator before they are published on our website. The purpose is not only to eliminate all of the spam posts, but also to allow us an opportunity to read your question or comment before we approve the post and give us a chance to respond to it in a timely manner.

Our Texas Arched Cabins Build Team is hard at work in rocky Southern Missouri, building a 24x40 and a 16x20 Arched Cabin for a client with a beautiful piece of property surrounded by nature! We've created a new Album in our online Gallery (scroll to the bottom) that we'll be updating as the build progresses, so keep an eye on it for the most up-to-date pictures available! PS - The roofing panels are Evergreen, one of 20 colors available! We recently found out that our Arched Cabin clients in Silver City, New Mexico, are chronicling their Arched Cabin build process (among other things) in a blog called Rimland Tales! In their blog you'll find an honest summary of the Arched Cabins build process completed by one of our distributors, their experiences corresponding with our HQ in Texas, how their interior finishing process is going, and how they like their Arched Cabin so far.
Client testimonials are important to us, and we hope that by featuring Brian and Chelsea's blog - which is in no way influenced by us - you'll see through their eyes the kind of experience we strive to give all of our clients! www.RimlandTales.com Our website has endured some spring cleaning, and we hope you like the results! We have new choices under the Services tab, including an updated Sizes and Prices page with listed pricing for our popular Arched Cabin sizes, we've added more photos to the Gallery, and we've even changed our color scheme to match our company color (lime green!). The purpose of the changes is to help our clients understand our pricing better by providing more direct pricing for our Arched Cabin kits and labor. We've also updated the Pricing List so any enterprising DIYer can customize their Arched Cabin to their heart's desire using our open pricing structure. We hope you like the changes - let us know what's working for you and what you'd like to see added or changed in the future in the comments! We will be adding more information soon on this awesome Arched Cabin tiny house build! Arched Cabins was invited to display a tiny house and speak at an event for Earth Day in Houston. We have built small but comfortable Arched Cabins before, but this was a whole new challenge for us! For a few different reasons we chose our 12' wide Arched Cabin and built it 8' long. The picture to the side here shows the interior under construction. Working with only 96 square feet, we fit a shower, toilet, sleeping loft, kitchen, dining area, and an entertainment area in! We are planning to have it completely finished in the coming weeks with detailed pictures for your viewing pleasure! For the article covering the event click here! We would like to welcome our new Arched Cabins Distributors to the Arched Cabin family. We now have Steve Hess and Mark Maher in Montana and surrounding areas, Donald Twichell in Nevada and Northern California, and Jacqueline Neumann in Utah and surrounding areas. If you live in these areas and need more info please contact the Arched Cabins distributor in your area!
Founder and President of Arched Cabins, David Cruey, is a featured speaker at the City of Houston's Earth Day Education Seminar on April 22nd! The City of Houston, in partnership with the Texas Gulf Coast Chapter of the US Green Building Council, are hosting a "show and tell" seminar at the Green Building Resource Center located at 1002 Washington Ave, Houston TX, 77002. We're thrilled to be speaking as part of the Tiny Houses in Houston portion of the seminar between 6pm - 8pm. We'd love to see you there to show you around a model Arched Cabin and answer your questions in-person! The seminar is free to the public and the hosts have asked those interested in hearing us and other featured speakers to RSVP prior to the event. We've added additional resources below! Register online or call 832-394-9050 prior to the event! http://www.greenhoustontx.gov/gbrceducation.pdf http://usgbctexasgulfcoast.org/meetinginfo.php?id=88 We now have our technical drawings available for purchase on www.ArchedCabins.com! Please make sure your address is entered correctly and we will be shipping our technical drawings one time a week, every Friday. If you order on Friday your plans will be shipped out the following Friday. If you have any questions please feel free to call us for more information! Thanks! We are super excited to share what we already knew with you all! As we have stated in the past, we didn't have engineering numbers for wind and snow loads, but real world results told us that our Arched Cabins are very strong and durable structures. Now confirmed with preliminary numbers through an engineering firm, our 14' x 20' Arched Cabin passed tests comfortably with a 30psf roof snow load and 150mph wind speeds, meeting the 2012 International Building codes for structures. These results should meet standards for most states and areas! Thanks again for following us, good things are coming!
PS - If your state or country has stricter standards and regulations than meeting the 2012 International Building codes for structures, we have the option of running additional engineering tests for an additional cost. Contact us for more information! We are happy to announce that we have released our first video on YouTube! The video documents the build process of a 14' x 20' Arched Cabin built on a skid pack to allow freedom to move that cabin later. Click here to watch the video or navigate to our Gallery tab and select Videos. We are in the process of updating our website so things will be moved around a little bit as we update. We have added a Media section to post different stories that have been done on Arched Cabins. We hope you enjoy the new content and updates! Look for more coming in the next few weeks! Feel free to leave us feedback on these changes and thank you for all of your support! |
