I'm looking at the exact same layout. My plans are for a 10x16 so I'm bumping them out by 2 feet and adjusting the floor joist size to build a 12x16. I didn't think about 10' walls but now, after seeing your cabin, i think we're definitely going that route so we can put in a useable loft. I've been super nervous about how to engineer a safe loft since I've got kids that will be up there but your mention of sistering 2x6 jack studs makes a lot of sense. I've been talking with my dad about my cabin and I've told him that I'm nervous that I'm going to make a huge rookie mistake. He made me feel better when he told me he had to tear down the forts I built 25 years ago when we lived in Alaska. Apparently I have a tendency to "overbuild". I'll waste a little money any day to make sure something isn't going to fall down!
Thanks again for your pictures - I think I'm almost ready to pull the trigger  . If you have a take off list you could share, I'd GREATLY appreciate it. It'd make me feel better that I wasn't forgetting a major chunk of my wood purchase.
Thanks!

I am a newby and have been in the talking phase of my cabin for a couple of years now. I have been saving and am now ready to start on my 12x16 cabin. i would also like a copy of your plans if that is possible, 10 ft. walls may be just what will make this loft cabin seem much bigger. i love what you have done with your cabin....looks awesome! brotherpauld@hotmail.com
