trevor , we have a camp in Ontario. you mention you have tyvec on the bottom of the floor. We had big problems with porcupines chewing our plywood floor. we bought used barn steel and put it on the bottom. That has kept the buggers out. We also went with ridged Styrofoam between floor joists. Less place for mice and critters to nest. Good looking project. old243

Old243, sounds like a good system, I still have to install heavy Gauge wire to avoid the critters!
