    This looks like a nice spot for a cabin. I think Bryan's tin opener that doubles as an axe could catch on . Chainsaw's hammers big nails my kinda job :)

    looks like hard work yet fun, with the satisfaction of creating something useful. if i was in the area i'd sure come out to lend a hand. have to agree with brian , looks like that is a pretty spot for placement. ken

    Do you put some isolation under the floor ?

    each time i see the inside of your cabin, i m surprise about the finish of the wall , just made with a chain saw or you sand it too ?

    Hi Stef.... yes there is an insulation barrier in the floor. First the floor is sheeted with cut boards... then tarpaper is stapled to floor. then floor is covered with flattened cardboard and then another layer of tarpaper... then precut plywood put on top. A real cosy floor.
