I spent the Winter in another cabin, which I did NOT build, merely remodeled... added window, installed insulation, drywall, installed entirely new stovepipe, grounded said pipe, built shelving, a bed, planted daffodils - no, I didn't build it! I was VERY fortunate to have this opportunity arise when a neighbor told me he had a unfinished cabin on his nearby large property I could live in, if I'd fix it up. And luckily, he won't be moving back from Missouri any time soon, so I'm doing quite well in it so far. I am so thankful to have a warm place to stay, nice and insulated, with woodstove heating! Included are a few pics of the tiny (12'x12' with a 4'x8' L-shaped screened porch) cabin.
There's a funny, but cool, story attached (quite literally) to this cabin. It was originally designed and built SOLELY as a heated foyer for a massive RV (Wonderlodge size). The RV pulled in close and "space-docked" with the doorway in the cabin (now replaced by a window). The owners did this only so their menagerie of exotic parrots would have a warm place to live during the winter!! The "screen porch" was built narrow and small, because it was designed as a outdoor birdcage!! I live in the Birdhouse Cabin! LOL!

| During construction... the window is now installed, but insulation needs installing, and the drywall is nowhere to be seen yet. (Don't worry, it's all up now!) |

Hello, friends! I apologize for leaving this journal without an update for so long! I forgot I was even registered here until I got an email.
Anyway,
the cabin project has been through the wringer (financially,
physically, every way you can think of) until it finally stabilized as
a single-story cabin of 420 sq. ft., with a log-beam shed-type roof. I
am still in the process of getting the roof completed. The last entry
was posted when I was only planning the home. Now it is 80% complete...
all of it constructed by yours truly, working almost entirely alone. I
intend the finish look to resemble what Julian May fondly refers to as
"munchkin tudor." I'll post some pics up here soon!
Peace,
Keith

|
| How this pic got uploaded into this quirky web-journal, I cannot explain!! I did not select it! It shows my buddy posing as a fantasy warrior for some artwork I did. |
|
|
| The finished subfloor. This is a crudely-stitched photo-collage, but it gives you the best look at the cabin's footprint. I am far more along than this pic would lead you to believe. It was current in Summer 2009. |
|
|
| This is almost what we look like right now. The walls of the front part are not raised yet in this pic. I have yet to build the roof over that section, and yes, my floor is suffering without a roof! However, lack of money, a broken finger at the first of the year, snow and lots of rain have kept me away from building! This reminds of a sign I saw long ago on the old man's bicycle - it said: "Don't Throw Rocks - Throw MONEY, and I'll buy a car!" |

Hello, everyone!
As a newbie here, I am happy to announce my building plans are finally finalized, and now construction of my simple cabin home can proceed. I am building a small (16x32) two-story cabin in the hills of central Georgia on my uncle's 138-acre woodlands. The house will incorporate timberframing, as well as conventional and steel-framing (to accommodate the round walls) and wind up looking like a cross of Elrond's house and an English Tudor manor! I hope to post pics later, so stay tuned.
Peace,
Keith
