Looks great! What's the footprint of the cabin? Does the 900 sf include the loft space?

THANKS.....i got the house wrap on , except for the gables. And all of the floor joists for the loft area.( which will be the ceiling joists for the down stairs bedroom /bath and mud room)Those 2' x 10's floor joists in the 95 deg heat in a cabin with a metal roof felt like a oven!!!!! I was way tired last night.

I know here in NE TN it gets very cold in the winter (lots of pipes freezing). If you are adding lots of insulation, it must be the same in your part of GA?
Knotty pine walls and ceiling should look great.
Summer in Maine! Always wanted to go in the fall; see the coastline and eat good seafood. If I could make text bold and underline, I would tell you I think you are blessed to be about to do this at your age in life. You have the opportunity that most of us only dream about. God bless and be careful.
My sister-in-law lost her job as a physician assistant and unable to find a job. She has been to Montana several times and stayed on a ranch taking 10day trips up into the mountains. When they found out she wasn't working, they asked her to come out and work for four months this summer. At 58 and not knowing if the chance would arise again, she jumped on it. Once she got there, found out she was in charge of the kitchen. Good thing she is an amazing cook (almost gourmet). We have gone to her house twice in the last two weeks for specific recipes.
Husband and I are in charge of the in-laws (88 and 84 with one having had a stroke and the other a broken neck with pins). But, if airfares drop, we will go out for three days in July. I have never been to Montana and can hardly wait. Found several cabins on ebay for sale in Montana but it just would never work. Live in Tennessee and have cabin in Montana......

we worked from around 7:30 am till noon today..........so HOT!!!!
92 deg downstair's in the caibin---it was 91 deg here tonight at 8:50pm........so i know it got close to 100 or more today.
got the 3/4' floor down with constuction glue, and# 8's nails
put up some OSB on the walls, white/yellow pine T & G will go over this. Also installed another support under the foor -just to be safe with all the extra weight. In this pic you can see some of the temp. bracing which will come out soon.
the ''loft room " will be around a 12' x 14' with 3 ft knee walls
