Love the table! Hoping to be able to build a few pieces for our place from wood on the farm. 
Another quick question Shadyacres- is your hallway three feet wide?
Still trying to figure out my fridge placement.

I'm sure the hall is a minimum of 3 ft. And I think the wall behind fridge is about 7 ft. I will get actual measurements next time I get up. Thanks on the table. I have some thick oak slabs. I want to make a coffee table/ play surface so I don't have to get on the floor when my grandson wants to play. lol

Ok Rys , the hall is 35 1/2 inches wide. I used 3/4 inch pine on both sides. And the wall behind the fridge is 6 ft. Now I did go with 2 X 6 exterior walls so if you go with 2 X 4 you will gain about 4 inches.

Thanks! We too are going 2x6.
Seems silly not to for such a minor difference cost wise
+ I like the added space for insulation.

Well I finally went thru my receipts which I have. I am sure there is some I don't have. Now this includes everything that was spent on cabin including appliances , sand mound , well , basement etc. I came up with 59178.00 and I know I am missing some because I just thought of the windows I bought on craigslist for about 1500. So you can see I am over 60,000. I am sure I could sell it for 150,000. I see old cabins going for well over 100,000 with not much land in my area. So if you build , try to save all your receipts and you will be surprised what the final tally is.

So I added an extra 8 x 12 deck onto my little porch. Will add some nice rails later when I have more time.

Ha! I don't save the receipts because I don't want to know!

Northrick, I think that is a good idea. I thought I was at about 40,000 tops.

hi shadyacres. love the post and pictures. cabin is awesome. was hoping to get some info from you. we also purchased plan from easy cabin design. I have building experience but no code experience. was wondering how you were able to meet and pass all the inspections? did you use a guide so it was done to code?
thanks

phippz , Yes I followed the international code which you can find online. I had to apply for a permit which cost me 670.00 I think and they come out and do all the inspections. Where I was at in PA it wasn't real intense like some areas can be. Some of the codes were a little hard to follow some time and if I also contacted my code area district once or twice to change things. One was to put my traps in my basement instead of in the cabinets on the above floor , ( kitchen and bath). Also , if you have a local lumber supply or plumbing outlet , they are pretty well up on the codes also. If you have any questions just shoot , I will gladly try to answer them.

I had a local Amish contractor do mine. I think there is quite a few around PA. Yes I bought all the material other than nails and staples and a little lumber I missed and I think it was like 5800. Couldn't complain at all. If there is any Amish in your area , surely there is some Amish sawmills , just ask around and you should be able to get info on some builders. I don't think they travel real far but not sure. Hope this helps.

Nice place! I thought I was building a cabin but it seems I'm building your outhouse. That place is huge.

My cabin is 9.75 to 12 . The reason being , I bought the angled windows first and that is what they were.

About 1000 yards I'd say. My grandson already is calling it my hideaway cabin.

Got shingles on one side of the roof this weekend. Had grandson all day Saturday so didn't get no work done that day but had a great time anyway.
