Hi everyone,
new member here. Found this forum during a search for flooring options and thought, I'd join.
My husband and I are building a 16x20 Post and Beam cabin here in Central BC at the moment.
Will post pics once I'm at the other computer, but just wanted to say Hi first
Cheers
Moni

here is what it looks like to date. As soon as the weather warms up, we'll be framing in the gables and then get the siding on.
I am on a rather slow connection here, so instead of posting all the other pics, I'll just leave a link to my gallery for now.
I hope that's ok.

Thanks everyone.
No permits needed in that area (except septic and electrical) and no real plan (haha), but my husband is a log home builder, which of course helps. ;)
This will be a dry cabin, btw, and used mostly from spring to fall. For now anyway.

Thank you, SmlTxCabin!
We finally started sorting the siding pieces yesterday and are getting ready to stain them. On the bottom, we'll be using wavy edge siding and on the gables we'll do board and batten. All will get stained barn red.
For the inside I have a vision but we'll have to see if it'll work ok or not. Planning on putting wide log planks horizontal w/ a gap between each and then we'll add some white strips between those to make it look chinked. Not sure I'm explaining it well. Kind of like here: http://www.timberworks.ca/TWDovetail/files/stacks_image_396_1.jpg

thought I'll update. We've been busy painting the siding here at home in the shop. So, once the snow is gone and we can get in, we are ready to get it put up.

Hi Just,
yes basically this is our first cabin, but my husband is a log home builder and that of course helps tremendously. ;)

I really like the look of those gable ends. The whole siding and logs and soffits... it all goes together very well.
Its funny. I can't even really get mind around to thinking about siding and fascia yet. I'm still trying to finish framing the roof and trying to figure out my rope rigging system so I can roof a 24:12 roof. We're all at such different stages of our projects. Oh well.

We were at it again this weekend.
Got two sides done with the siding and finished the fascia boards on the back gable.

figured I should update again with more pictures. We are pretty much done now except for finishing the railing upstairs, finishing the outlets/switches and getting the floor done.
We put the power underground as well and its so nice not to see powerlines dangling around. ;)
ok, here the latest pics from inside
