More photos.
We decided to build a porch in the front and screen it in. Its great to get away from all the bugs.
We also installed red pine hardwood floors. Just need to be stained.

Beautiful. Interior really coming along. If you don't mind, how much do you have into the project so far?

Hello fellow Quebecer !! We're almost neighbours !! I'm behind Danford lake and I'm a few minutes from the picanoc river which starts up around your area I think ? I'm starting to build in the spring and I originally was going to go 16x20 but I think I'm going 14x20 to save a few bucks ! How much did your tin cost you ? I'm thinking of going with Ondura asphalt 4x6 panels their 19.99$ a panel at lowes and seem like there easier to work with than tin , but I still haven't decided ? Your cabin looks great !!

Very nice pictures mark, and great cabin. Looks like you work very fast! How deep did you put the footings? Or are they sitting on bedrock? The pictures really show the foundation process very simply, I am trying to figure it out in my head when I am ready to build.

Great looking place. I see you have your walls with the vertical pine. Is it T&G? What did you do between your wall studs to attach the wood vertically?

Thanks for all the pics. This is one beautiful cabin. Many years enjoyment ahead. Is that going to be a bucket shower in the bathroom?

Do you have a materials list for your floor? I am building essentially the same cabin in MN and need help.
What did you use for your foundation? How deep did you have to dig? I was going to use just sonotubes but am somewhat reluctant.
Also can you tell me what materials you needed for the roof? I have the metal roofing but that is it so far.
Your cabin is nice and I would be lucky to get mine even close to what yours have become.
Thanks a lot

Hey thanks for the great emails. I haven't been on here in a long time.
Well to answer your questions Jeepvspwr,
I dont have a material list, but I did 3 built up beams out of 2x10's with joints in between them. The middle beam sits under the joints and the two end ones connect the joints.
I didn't dig cause the ground there is very gravel and all the neighbors cabins are the same and they said their cabins have never moved in 25 years so I did my foundation footings a foot in the ground. and then I put sonotubes one to 2 feet high.
For the roof, I used standard 2x10's by 16 feet and just cut the angles in them for my rafters, then I placed 2x4's horizantally every foot, then I placed the metal tin on.
Feel free to email me marklacroix2011@gmail.com
Cheers

Hey Everyone,
Over the summer I did some more work at the cabin.
Built a massive staircase going down to the riverfront, counted 104 steps with one landing in the middle and a landing at the top.
Installed a water tower and all the plumbing inside the cabin. Bought a instant propane camping hot water tank, it works great, runs off a 20lb tank and I installed it on the outside of the cabin. I had it on medium and it was pretty hot. Its from ecotemp, Cost only 225 with shipping to canada.
I'll attach some photos. I will be building a prefab cabin this fall to put next to my cabin. I've started a cabin business as well if anyone in canada is interested in having my style cabin built for them. Email me at marklacroix2011@gmail.com

Hopefully I can manage to get mine looking more like yours does. I am hoping to get the roof up next weekend. I used a local Tamarack tree for a main support beam all the way to peak. Got to finish smoothing it out then Ill stain and clearcoat it. Progress is happening but the to do list is quite extensive yet!
