I’ll forgive you only if you send me several pounds of Wisconsin cheese (we just think we know how to make cheese over here). I share an office with a guy from WI, but I would welcome more of the good stuff (I’m somewhat of a cheese slut, actually). Last nip was of baby swiss…it made me moist.


Hoookay, back to a bit of our cabin history;

Attachment 10140
We added a summer kitchen a year or so after we finished the cabin (cabins are never really finished by the way).

A couple years later, after cabi darn near froze to death one winter just trying to make coffee, we added on a little indoor kitchen to the back end of the cabin.
I made the windows and dutch door.

Tomorrow, the front room add on.

Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments (you too, Hunter)

cheers

I'm a big Lean-to guy my self.......
The Tja ma shed........now has two.....we used this as a bath/shower house, storage and potty room.....back when "The Place" was a 16' Shasta Travel trailer.

Again nicely done.

Beautiful work. Love seeing the pictures.

Cabin porn good. Nice job.

I can't imagine too many things more satisfying than building your home with your own two hands and then living in it.
Log cabin building should be a mandatory, (hands on) course in any high school. One can learn so much that's beyond just making something.

Words of experience, of a truth for sure.

I wrote some words in a book somewhere.
Words that come from deep within.
From this rhythmic thing in my chest.
Rather tribal.

They go something like this;

Very few deeds mark one’s existence better than creating something.
And that something can be a cozy structure.
The value is not monetary, but a form of fulfillment of one’s innermost being.


For me, most everything else is a void,
a bottomless abyss of pursuing elusive things with money,
instead of applying my own hands to the tangible,
of which remains so untouched these days.

The musician creates a song.
The poet creates prose.
The scientist makes discoveries.
Joe average slogs to work, making a living.
But building a simple cabin has a romance about it that beckons the soul.

Amen to that, well put.

Y'all must like the Shelter Book series.......

...and Lloyd Kahn's books....

Oh man, that does look homey.

After months of trudging to the edge of the woods, TP and shovel in hand, we gathered some building scraps and built our poophaus.
Not a hole, but a five gallon bucket.
