Damned nice bro, I'm diggin it! Its awsome to stand back and say "I built this" isnt it? So satisfying.

[@rhai8879]

Watching this has me all kinds of ready to start doing work on my property in Seligman. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@thepeckperspective]

You are crushing it man!

[@cheryllewis-battles7664]

So PROUD OF YOU…Git R done!

[@mattstone8878]

Awesome! Love to see it all coming together!

[@mattstone8878]

I have a remote job where I work 40 hours per week. I wonder how much I could get done in a situation similar to yours, given that situation.

[@FrugalOffGrid]

I appreciate you following along.

[@FrugalOffGrid]

​​@@mattstone8878Well, I pretty well work as hard as I can about 5 hours a day on the cabin but only when I have materials. I would guess I've put 40 to 80 hours in if that helps.

[@JimTexas806]

Fantastic plan and execution. Loving this process. Well done.

[@robertlemoine3500]

Very cool! Making great progress

Thanks, Steph! It will be a while yet before it's done but I'll enjoy the process.

I have seen some people run corrugated plastic pipe underground to provide geothermal temperature regulation. It could add cool air in the summer and warmer air in the winter. You would just need a fan to push the air through. Just some food for thought.

[@marshajamison7463]

Thanks for your amazing inspiration!

[@servicedoglydia503]

So exciting John!

[@FrugalOffGrid]

I've tried not to get too hyped up, but the closer get the more excited I am. I'll be grateful to move in.

[@YeshuaisKingofkingz]

Post and beam brackets would look nice on that patio with some structural screws and faux nuts that the screw goes into to make it look like big bolts

[@FrugalOffGrid]

I have hardware for the top level so far. Ill get them all eventually.

[@YeshuaisKingofkingz]

Rafters is getting close to a roof. Sweet progress. Thinking about making an "I was a rafter once ... on the Salmon River" but naw. Dumb joke.

[@FrankWaltersLovestoteach]

Is it high enough off the ground for the rain

[@Sleeppeoblems101]
