What a great cabin! I really like the different colored stains on the interior. And that interior door is gorgeous.

When did you start? What is the foundation type? What size is this? In other words, details, please! :)

I can't take the credit for building it. These are built by an amish fellow in central Ohio. Our part to do was the foundation, plumbing, septic and field, electrical,wood stove, and bathroom fixtures.Oh and the kitchen sink.LOL
Size is 12 X 30 . I have lots of pics from start to present. I will post some.

Our first steps were to clear the sites and form our concrete pads. We are doing two cabins.

After they were formed we poured the concrete. We poured a 2ft by 8 ft crawl space by 1ft deep for access to our plumbing that will later go into the cabins.

Once we had the concrete pads poured delivery was scheduled. Of course it had to be pouring rain for the mile long trip down the two track dirt road.

With our plumbing drains finished we started on inside plumbing fixtures.
The first pic is of the unfinished bath. The others show the finished bath short of some trim work to be done yet.

The floors of these cabins are constructed of 6x6 treated beams and covered with 2 in treated tounge and groove. We set ours on additional 6x6's to give us 1 ft of height.
We the enclosed the sides with rock faced siding, to help keep snow and debri from blowing under the cabins.

The cabins are heated with woodburners. Those were added, no pics yet of those, and the well was drilled and water lines hooked up. that is where we stopped for the season. Took a little time away from the work to enjoy the fall and do some grouse hunting.

I love the loft area, but how do you get up there?;)

I have been trying to work in a loft without making the rafters higher, and that right there shows it can be done. I just wanted a liiiiiiitttle extra storage/bed room.

I think your place looks very warm and cozy. I really like the interior trim! Are you in a development with other cabins? You'll have some really good times there. Is it your first cabin? Old Old Buddy

Russ that is how I get up there. There is a loft on both ends in mine. My brother has just the loft on one end only.
The loft is only about 40 inches in the center. We just use them for storage of gear and such. We did mount our water heaters in the loft above the kitchen/bath end.

Old Buddy the trim and rafters are made of red cedar.Both of these cabins sit on a forty acre parcel we own. It is a mile back into our place off the dirt road.

Crosswind,
Very nice cabin! I love the interior.

We are building our little cabin just north of Dover. Sugarcreek is about 20 miles from my build site! Stop by sometime. :-)

Foundation is a concrete pad with 2 extra feet in length and width around the cabin.We built in a 2ft X8 ft crawl space for access for plumbing work. Cabin size is 12 X 30.
