I've been back at the cabin the past while, working solo on the gable ends. It has been really nice in the woods watching Spring come, the trees change and the days get longer. I've tapped a few Maple Trees around the cabin and boil down some sap as I work. The rear gable end is now nearing completion and I will continue working on the front one over the coming week. I am really happy with how the cabin is coming along and looking forward to the spring weather to keep making progress.

For me, the ideas in ru-vid.comUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

Thanks Jason! Hope the better weather will lead to me making more progress. Working alone with COVID though, so that slows things down. But all is good!

Hi Gerald, Thanks for the comment! I hope to get the front gable end finished and then start working on some things inside and then insulating the roof. Hope to be mostly finished by the fall.

@PenniacWilderness 4 года назад

Welcome aboard! And thanks for the comment! You like the dovetail style or the overall layout? I originally was going to build it a bit smaller, but then decided to extend the loft on the front and back and I am happy I have done so.

@PenniacWilderness 4 года назад

HI there, Thanks! I appreciate the comment. The logs I am using for the main cabin are 14 feet long, 10 inches high and 6 inches wide. The ones I was using for the gable end are 10 inches high and 4 inches wide. Hope that helps - let me know if you have any other questions.

you ever try Roberts square drive screws ? I used them a 9.6 driver screwed 6 inch screws without slipping like Philips

@PenniacWilderness 4 года назад

Hi Scott - Yes, I do use the Robertson bits often, they seem to be the best for screws I find. The lag screws I use have a Torx head on them though.

@FinnishPlayground 4 года назад

Good work! Any plans on insulating the roof?

@PenniacWilderness 4 года назад

Yes, I plan to insulate on top of the roof boards, and then strap the roof, then metal roofing. What are you thinking for your roof?? Very curious to hear your plans.

@stedebonnet1340 4 года назад

@@PenniacWilderness A proper roof in cold climate is quite a design challenge. Make sure you put a vapor barrier immediately behind the interior "finish" surface. And also make sure you provide for ventilation in the insulation cavities. Otherwise, you'll get moisture built up in the cavities which would create mold and rot. Also you dont want the exterior of your metal roofing to be any warmer than the ambient air temp or else you could get ice damming at the eves which would result in water leaking thru the seams in the roofing.

@stevebrandau9300 2 года назад

I have enjoyed watching your cabin come together. I have a question. How thick are you cutting the wall logs for the cabin?

Good evening mate I'm from Florina Greece West Macedonia very much I like what you do I glad you do bravo you know but what I do not understand because I watch a lot of videos with such houses on the mountain inside what you do there is your place or you buy what you buy mountain plot what you buy I have a curiosity🇬🇷👍

@PenniacWilderness 4 года назад

I hope I understand your question - if not please let me know. In Canada a lot of the land is owned by private citizens so you can build on the land you own. A log of people in rural areas will build a cabin either to live in or to spend some time on. This cabin is located on property my family owns in the east of Canada. Please let me know if I answered correctly.

@Kokoras1980 4 года назад

Now I understand what you are saying, that is, the place is yours. It should not be blocked unless it is the many hectares of land🇬🇷👍
