Nice work on that roof. I am finishing the roofing on my 12:12 pitch so I have some idea what you are going through. I shingled the first 5 rows from an extension ladder and went to roof jacks and planks after that. I found it easier and faster to work from the jacks -- not so much up and down. Wear a harness and have a buddy around if possible. My biggest fear is falling, getting hung-up and then cutting myself down because there is nobody around to move the ladder. Good luck and be safe.

[img=null]null[/img]In my book if the fuel wood is free I wouldn't worry about insulating and buy a good high quality used woodstove off craigslist -- if it's a little too big -- no problem -- thats what windows are for .....

Yes I am definitely slowly shopping for a woodburning stove on craigslist. Of course thats second to my current main mission - the roof! I've finished the tyvek wrap for the whole cabin. No one answered when I asked previously, do you think the plywood sheathing will be ok over the winter with just the tyvek or should I really get some siding on there?
So all I really have got to do now is finish the comp roof. Its slow going with a roof that steep and working alone. Just super slow going. Plus its been raining really hard lately.
What do you think of the old vintage window up top? It was the most expensive window I bought and probably the least energy efficient but I really like the look. I got it at a second hand construction goods store called Second Use.
I've been enjoying the cabin a little more. I made breakfast and after breakfast started setting up my tools. I saw my dog taking a nap and said screw it, and I climbed back in my sleeping bag for a couple hours. It was nice dozing off listening to the rain hit the roof. Wow noon already! And I got back to work.

This may not be what men want to hear about their cabin but it looks like it is something right out of the pages of a storybook. Hope you aren't cringing about now. I really like it-it is very beautiful and that extra window you put in makes it even more so! Congratulation Jeremy-maybe you should consider getting married at your place-it would make a quaint little backdrop during the exchange of vows-ok, I'll stop now and hope my husband doesn't read this post :)

I'm okay with the storybook look. I thought of doing all kinda of fun stuff for the exterior so it looks like Hansel and Gretal belong. Don't know yet, but I was definitely going for a mountain country/unique look.

Well its a snowin! Luckily my wood burning stove is keeping it toasty inside the cabin. Probably under 30 degrees outside and over 60 inside.
I've been painting all my interior walls with Kils to combat the mold that grew while I was finishing the roof. I got about half of the cabin done painting. Then last time I came out I insulated those walls. Wow, what a huge difference in temperature. No longer does the wood stove need to be running for hours before you notice the warmth.
Also, a few weeks ago I worked on the roof of my woodshed. It doesn't look quite so shoddy anymore.
Hope you are all enjoying your cabins.
One question - Many people put plastic up over the insulation so no vapor can get into your walls and also it might be a long time between insulation and finished walls. I plan on eventually doing t&g 1x6 or something similar for my interior walls. Should I go with plastic or with tar paper and any spec on that plastic? Also staples or will that ruin my vapor barrier with all the holes?

I barely made it home from the cabin Saturday. It normally takes me 1.5 hrs to get home but it took me over 3. Cars were in the ditch all over the place, cops and tow truck drivers... I don't know if I'll be able to get back in there with my van for awhile. Might have to load up the 4runner with my tools if I wanna head out.

Thanks everyone. Sorry to leave you hanging.
I got accepted into a volunteer program overseas and my fiancé and I have been in Israel and Jordan all summer. We'll be heading back soon, so fear not, I'll be back to work and making updates this autumn.
Before I left, I got around to hanging the front door, finishing the tile around the wood stove, wiring for lights and plugs (though I won't likely set up a power supply for years), insulating the walls, and the interior wall vapor barrier.
On my immediate agenda for the cabin is deciding what kind of interior wall covering to go with (must price out t&g versus a nice sanded plywood), installing that, then hanging the kitchen cabinets I got off craigslist. Things will be more organized inside after that and I'll be living easier.
After that, next steps are to cut my bird blocking then insulate the loft and do wall covering up there. That will have to wait a little while though for budget reasons. Maybe in spring time I'll be able to afford wall covering after I've run a couple remodel projects for customers.
That's all for now. I was pretty busy and only recently have found time to start reading up on the forum. Reading about all your cabins makes me miss mine!
I still can't believe I finished that roof! It was more than half a year ago, but it was snowing hard the day I finished nailing on the roof cap. I remember straddling the roof and scooting along nailing on the cap. My buddy was on the ground feeding the wood stove and shouting encouragement. By the time I finished, my rear and inner thighs were frozen! I came inside threw off the wet carharts and put on some dry skivvies and jeans. Buddy handed me a beer and I sat down next to the stove with a big smile on my face.

Hi Jeremy,
I was wondering how you were doing- I thought maybe you were busy getting married. What an exciting adventure you must be living overseas. Many wonderful memories being made I am sure! I look forward to you coming back and watching your progress. I'm sure your cabin misses you!

I've been watching Jeremy's cabin build as I am building one as well in Missouri. I was thinking of 6 ft walls however seeing and reading about Jeremy's I can see the advantage of 8 ft.
I hope he returns soon,
your place is beautiful, if mine turns out half as good I will be happy
