Oakwell Farms News

Elbow Room's customized casitas are made with the same materials, such as drywall and insulation, used in most residential homes.

Paperwork from Laura Brown’s work-from-home job, combined with materials from her crafting hobby, was overflowing from her home office into another room of the Oakwell Farms house she shares with her husband, Bill. Something had to give. “We decided I needed a ‘she-shed,’ ” said Brown, who works in financial operations for a health care company.

It's small but really catches the eye Callahan said the company can complete a non-permitted build in as little as four to six weeks — the Browns’ took a month — while permitted buildings can take four to six months, once the building permits are acquired. Elbow Room’s smallest floor plan, measuring 8-by-8 feet, costs $26,000 to build while its largest, a 40-by-20-foot, two bedroom, two bathroom with a full kitchen, is $197,000.
