Quoting: Tim On our first house about 35 years ago, I used creosote too. I remember mixing it with used motor oil and diesel fuel. Unheard of today, but it sure was a great preservative!
Tim,
I have a friend that lives in West Virginia and that is almost the standard barn and shed covering there. I asked him about the mix, as I thought it was used oil and gas. He said it was diesel fuel, and used motor oil, without creosote.

Tim, do you have a material list for your build? I'd be curious to see what something like this would cost in our neck of the woods. As my father-in-law has a saw mill...

Duke,
Well, "sorta". I went back and found some old files I had been using in the planning stages. I had planned to use "V" groove toung and groove for the interior wall surfaces, but that changed. I see it was still on this list. I coppied the list and will paste it here. Please understand that some things might have changed, and this is only a rough list, but really shouldn't be that far off. One thing, for example, I changed the footer type totally. Only the things after the FOOTER/FOUNDATION apply to my finished cottage. Here is the list I had:
FOOTER/FOUNDATION
Excavation (rental of small track hoe) $300.00

The only thing that ended up being tongue and groove is the finish flooring over the subfloor. Yes, all the rough sawn is square edge straight cut, including the board and botton siding.

so since I'm not enjoying retirement like some and would need to saw on weekends... Would it be better to saw all the lumber and then build or build as a guy saws to keep the lumber all uniform looking and having the same moisture content throughout, or isnt that an issue?

I don't think it would make that much difference unless the first lumber was going to be sawn more than 6 months before the last lumber was sawn.

Hi everybody......
It's been a long winter! Our little cottage has been as warm and snug as we ever could have wanted. Now, the weather is getting a little better so, guess what. GARAGE TIME!
The poplar from the mill was delivered Tuesday, and the treated posts and skirt boards were delivered this morning. It will be a 20X20 pole building with a 16X16 shop attached to the back. Setting posts this weekend!

Hey Tim.....it's been awhile since I have written to you! Are you building this project at the cabin site or at home? Don't you ever take a rest?
I was in you neck of the woods last Saturday. I attended the birthday party for my 100th year old great aunt at the Sugarcreek Golf Course. It was quite a gathering. She was the last sibling of my grandfather (on my side). The oldest sibling died in 1965 at 72YOA, my grandfather was next at 67 YOA. Since then, the siblings lived to be 94, 96, 98, 101 and the last one turned 100 on Saturday. Sounds like a Guinness World Record for longevity doesn't it?
I'll keep up to date with your progress. I didn't see a spud-bar or post hold diggers in the photograph. I couldn't imagine how much easier an auger would have made our job with the 18 holes we "hand-dug.":-

Old Old Buddy...........Oh my gosh, Sugarcreek Golf course is like 20 miles from us. If you get back over, get hold of me and I will put a pot of coffee on, and chill the beer.
We live in our cottage, so I guess the answere to your question is BOTH. lol.......I will keep you posted on progress.
Here is what I did today.

Tim did you cement your crawl space floor? Now that you have lived in it for a while any changes to the design or build you would recommend if you we're going to start over on it again?

No I didn't. I thought about it, and it would sure be nice, but didn't want to spend the money. I am not really sorry I didn't, but it would really be nice to have if it wasn't so darned expensive.

Tim, great job on your cabin! I'd like to replicate some of it but have a couple of questions. Your build diary says you bought 6x6x12 for the foundation posts but set them 4' deep. How high above ground did you cut your posts? Also, I see you used a cap sill on the perimeter. What did you do for the center posts? Thanks!

Hi Snuffy,
I bought 12' posts and cut them in half to make 6' posts. Down 3 to 4 feet and up about 2 or 3 feet. For the center post, I just sat a 2X10 on the top of the post.
Hope that helps,
Tim

Yep, the garage, shop, and chicken coop will all get a coat of stain this summer after the wood has dried out well. Metal on roof this weekend....I hope!
