Hey all, Ive been reading these forums for ideas and i decided to sign up in case i ever need advice from some cabin veterans. I live in southwestern wisconsin and will be building a 12x12 cabin on some family land. It is at the top of a hill and overlooks a very remote valley, Im very excited, its going to be beautiful. My grandpa is helping me and im starting to think he is even more excited than i am haha. gives an old retiree something fun to think about. Im going to be building on dek blocks and im also going to try and use clever design inside to maximize space. I will be building a murphy bed and some murphy type tables/benches.
eventually ill be adding solar i think, i will only be up there on the weekends so i think a small panel and a couple batteries should do me fine. just need to power a radio and maybe a light if i dont feel like using candles/light from my woodstove.
Ill post some pictures as i go along, and probably ask advice as i run into challenges. Just wanted to say hello and thanks for everyone who has posted on here, ive read many of the posts and have learned alot and gotten many ideas!
