        I prefer making chandeliers! Speaking of I need to get a big one together for a member.

        I'll have help raising outside walls after I get them put together. BIL said he is ready whenever I need him.

          I like the way you think!!!!!

            It definitely is. There are flaws with my current home that I would do different now. For the most part very satisfying though. Good feeling every time I come home and see. I took this pic a couple evenings ago of it.

                Just curious and this might need its own thread, but what flaws did you discover and what would you do differently?

                  Really not flaws just personal preferences. 8' ceilings all throughout. I would go 9'-10' in living, kitchen and master. I'm 6'5" and so taller ceilings would be nice. Plan to raise a couple in the next year or so after this build. Open living room and kitchen area. I've already remodeled to get the look we like. Before I just had a 5' opening from living to kitchen.

                      I won't need his help until I start framing and raising walls. Couple weeks. He has already offered but not needed yet. He isn't a lazy guy. I'm just hard headed self goaled and like working alone!

                        Always glue and screw those floors! Nails are guaranteed to squeak at some point!

                        Are you insulating the floor underneath?

                          No floor insulation. Underpinning around perimeter and landscaping work great.

                            Yeah this will be the interesting part.
                            To see how you dry it in (walls, rafters and roof)

                              The one regret I have about the cabin I built is not insulating the floor. Now I'm trying different things to mitigate the mold due to condensation. Probably not a big deal if I had electricity and kept the inside climate stable.

                                No issues here at all with mold or moisture. I put up cedar panels on mine. FIL has lattice on his and probably do lattice on this one. Key is ventilation!
