I think most of those fell in (or were squashed by bears). I like that story about Decide Lake Cabin when Archie came back from hunting and told people that Alan Koe must have got lots of caribou he's building a big box at Decide Lake. Might set tent at tin house this fall good big willow points in there for wolf snares.But I want to catch 200 mink and make 6 grand like Davie's plan. What were we talking about stayed at Police Cabin all night putting up the walls (to keep American refuges out, 😋just kidding) got the boats put away by 9 AM. Then cellabrayed Canada Day by saluting the Queen and watching NHL free agent frenzy on TSN. Really low water got stuck in Bennets.

I think that's how we were supposed to live. Simple. Nothing fancy, just enough to make us happy. We have gotten away from that and it's really too bad. Nice cabin!

You might want to look at a ventless wall heater that you can hook up to a 20 or 30 lb propane bottle .They are very efficient as far as propane usage .They have a thermostat so you can regulate the temp .They heat up a area quickly and they are very quiet

I lived in a tent for a bit over 3 years that looks like a 5 star hotel!

Did you live in that tent in WYOMING? If you stayed in it year round that's is quite a story I'd imagine.

That's awesome for the solar power. I hate the electrical grid.

Forget the ventless heater if you seal it up nice and tight with your insulation. Only place it had to pull oxygen was from around the windows which lead to massive condensation on the windows on the inside. At least that was my experience in my 10x16. Did a loft on each side of mine 5' off the ends, open in the middle. Did a barn roof style truss for a lil extra room. I am replacing my ventless heater with a small wood stove.

If theres a few cows and horses around id put a fence around the cabin, to keep them from rubbing on it.

Before you close it up on the inside, I would place headers above and supports under those windows like they should have been done. Good looking place though.

I don't think you'll like the paneling after a season or two. Humidity will cause it to warp after a short while. Any chance you can find some used galvinized tin for an old barn or shed? Quick and easy to put up and cheep if you have the right connections. [Linked Image]

Finally got the paneling up on the sides, went to a saw mill the other day and ordered Hemlock boards planed for the ceiling.

I agree with that, it use to amaze me the huge homes being built in Colorado and those people didn't even have any children.

My wife and I live in a 900 sq ft house. You definitely trim the excess stuff.

I like your cabin and I hope you enjoy it also.

Looks a lot like mine, stayed in it to 26 below, needed to wake up after 4 hours and replenish the stove. Two bunks and a cot stored under them, pump and outhouse, no electric.
