Bunkhouses are small barracks-like buildings used to house temporary workers. Typically the building is unheated, and not used in during times of the year when the temperature reaches less than brisk conditions (5°C or 40°F). They're commonly used to enable guild teamsters to rest when reaching a carter post after a long journey.

Bunkhouses may be much larger than the one shown, which includes four bunks to support eight persons. They're often staffed by a single domestic, often a young man or woman who sleeps in the room on a temporary pallet.

A chamberpot is kept in the room and used as a toilet at night, which is carried out by the domestic through the night and in the morning as needed. Cooking and eating is done outdoors.

Construction

Bunkhouses are normally half-timbered for strength and endurance, with 4 ft. walls of mortared gravel-stone, 4 inches thick, with chinked wooden slat walls and a thatched roof. Windows, if any, are placed beside the door and at the back, with a size of 9 inches.

The building's materials include 95 cub.ft. broken limestone, 32 cub.ft. mortar, 612 board feet of spruce and other insundries. Cost varies according to location, but a reliable guess for the building shell would be 83 g.p., not counting the cost for a door, windows or furnishings.
