So many folks here from up north.. and MAN are those areas beautiful.. but I hate snow.. lol
Anyone from around Texas?
I'd sure love to get together, hang out with folks that love building cabins as much as I do. Don't worry, all the hard work is done on mine.. lol..
Just thinking about my ranch and the cabin and curious who else in this heat-infested region is too.. :P
I always told my wife I'd sell everything in a heartbeat and move to a state that does not fry eggs on the sidewalk if we could get as good of jobs and get my ranch back too.. lol.. but the Texas Veteran land program is too dang nice down here and most states don't have that.

Glad you started this thread. I'm in Texas have been all my life.
I listen to others on here from the Northern part of the country and think it's cool there are so many that can discuss their common land interests. But wondered who all had a cabin in Texas, so we can discuss our common things.
So cool that you are done on your cabin. We have just started and are 8 months into it. We are headed there soon for a weeks vacation in this heat-infested region. lol
But really once you take a cool dip, it is not so bad outside.
Only thing that gets me is the constant lookout for snakes and the bugs. But I would not trade it. There is just something magical about cabin time.

Purplerules: I am not done.. lol.. I still have a few months left. I am trying to get the last of the electricity done this month and get the walls finished out next month. I love Texas, just hard to get help in the middle of nowhere and thank God for the folks that get out there to help.. heh
I have a link somewhere to the progress, I will link it here in a few.
Taiwin: Very nice and clean cabin! I wish I had kept mine at that size.. but I got too ambitious.. lol
My ranch is southwest of Rocksprings, TX

Here is the link to our cabin.
CABIN BUILD THREAD
And here is an updated photo or two. Like I stated, we are about 85% done with the electrical runs and then we have the insulation. We are using 5.5" x 6ft picket fence to line the walls. I wanted that instead of sheetrock.. heh:

lol.. thanks! but, I got a heck of a deal. I found a guy that had just bought a house and was remodeling the kitchen because it was too small for him and his wife. The problem he dealt with was the people he had bought it from had remodeled it 2 months prior in order to sell it :P
So, for $100, I got brand new granite countertops and the 1970s custom real wood cabinets.. ;) we just had to take them out ourselves, which was a chore.
There are more cabinets, but we could not fit them all in, so we are spreading them throughout the cabin as storage.. heh
And the granite broke, but I was able to repair it ;)
