DIY Cabin build

Great thread and following along. I love the symmetry of the 4 foot increments. very cheap price on the foundation based on lumber prices i've seen. i think i spent $1K on five steps 12 foot wide for our porch reno project.

Regarding the mini split. you should look into the multi-zoned mini split. if you want more comfort in the bedroom.

and congrats on the jackpot. we need more pics of the property and the "view"

Finished up most of all the interior walls and top plate today except in the master bedroom and closet. Ran out of material for the top and bottom plates (thought i estimated enough but i don’t do this kinda work every day).

My daughter cleaned up the site and we left early instead of going to town for more material. I’ll try and wrap up the rest Tuesday before I leave for work for two weeks.

Next days off i plan on getting the roof and porch framed and drying it in.

Sheathed the exterior walls today, cut out windows, got the ceiling joist in above both bedroom and the ridge beam up. The kitchen/ living area will be vaulted.

103 heat index was rough, put in a solid 8 hrs today.

Nice project, really taking shape. Get that roof on and get you some shade, good luck.

Little more progress, almost finished the roof rafters until I dropped scrap board with a nail in it & poked a hole in my air line and called it quits.

Will finish out the rafters and gable ends tomorrow.
Set cedar post and start framing the front porch. Hopefully dried in by the weekend.

2 days work in at the farm.

Finished the roof framing, cut my front porch post and got them set and cut off level.
Threw some scrap scaffold together to work off of for installing the header and rafters.

Filled 10 feeders, mowed around camp and shot a few pigs last night with my thermal.

Hopefully this weekend I’ll have the rafters up, decking on, roofing felt and wrap done. This heat is killing me.

Looking good!

Great progress getting that roof framed and the posts set, but take it easy in this heat.

Put in 8 hot hours today by myself.

Porch roof is done. Gotta add the sub fascia to the front. Frame up some end walls under the porch side eaves and trim ceiling joist poking out the back rafters then I can deck it.
