Everyone on this forum knows the feeling of arriving at your getaway cabin after being away for awhile. You want to say "I'm Here!" Everyone loves cabin pictures, so howsabout creating a PICTURES ONLY thread (no chat)? Subject of these photos? CABIN LIFE - what is it that makes you happy to return to your cabin?
(For how-to post a upload a photo, directly from your cabin, here is a thread starting for technical discussion of cabin-internet.)
PLEASE reply ONLY if you can contribute a PHOTO related to the TOPIC which is "I am at my cabin NOW!" It would be great to be able to look at this thread and see pictures only. I have been on other forums that have "photos-only" threads, and its more pleasant to browse, like a photo album. It can be a great thread that lasts for years.
Its not easy to avoid off-topic chatting; such as "Hey Fred where did you get that woodstove?" Not trying to be a forum nazi, just trying to create something cool, and hoping this first post will help to preserve thread content = thread topic. It would be more effective if others members can help (remind members of this goal) as time goes on.
One way to keep the thread "on topic" is to use only very very short situational descriptions. The more you write the more there for someone to reply about. I wish this forum had a "Private Message" option....
I'l upload a few photos. I hope others have photos to share.

72 deg, end of a nice spring day. Cabin porch at sunset.
(..pause for a marketing interruption to try to get this thread going...) This thread is supposed to be like a PHOTO ALBUM (with short descriptions only) about what makes you happy to be at your cabin AT THIS MOMENT.

Was that having a cold beer watching the sun set or having a cold beer for breakfast?

Well, gee gosh, Tom.
Your censure toward decorum, although gentle, and your magnificent cabin (of which I have to remove the drool from my keyboard every wonderful time I tap into your posts) is somewhat intimidating to us amateur wood butchers.
But your intent is a great one.
C'mon kids, lets compile our huts, sheds, cabins, and imposing edifices and/or your bare dreamlands (with a mug of brew on a stump, or a resident chippy gnawing on your soap)...I mean we've displayed our outhouses without hesitation or shame..............
a pause to contemplate late winter's receding blanket

Coffee anyone?
Ok, so I'm not at my cabin now (because it is still only a figment of my imagination) but I just finished building our composting toilet which will eventually go to the cabin. I began construction, this weekend, of the outhouse that will house this important piece of "furniture". I figured I needed to work on the basics first so that my wife will enjoy her experience when she visits. It's not porcelain but solid white oak comes close. ;-)

This is our first structure. It has subsequently been fixed to the ground with ground screws. It was built on mostly free wood. The floor is 4"X4" beams 1' apart and was the shipping base for a flight simulator. The concrete bits were donated. I paid for the steel sheeting and that's about it. It's carpeted and has a Mr.Heater with a custom stainless grill above it for cooking. I can get a cot in it with a hammock above. The next project will be a 8'X12' on 4' of cinder block.

Poured most of the way up. Rained here. Calling for rain today. Black flies are swarming to no end.
Being up at the cabin to open up for the season:
Priceless!

Thanks neb, I picked up a sub-compact SLR a few days ago and I've been snap-happy ever since. I have a neat panoramic shot I took with the thing but I need to resize the image a little smaller before I can post it - It's obscenely large and takes forever to load.
The young lady would be my long-time friend and lover Tammy.

Quoting: Borrego how do some of you get the pictures to come out large?
1. Use a large square -looking icon when inserting picture link into the post.
For that you need to have picture hosted somewhere else (like photobucket.com) and sized accordingly.
2. If you use "Upload file(s)" link (normal method), the images get uploaded to Small Cabin server, resized and 'thumbnaleized' linking to a larger pop-up image.

Back to your regular programming....
Here are some parts of cabin life that I like. SUMMERTIME!
- Double the comfort - it's 65deg inside the cabin (with no utility bill).
- Outdoor shower when it's 83 degrees outside
- The view from the shower.
65 degrees inside

Thanks!
You may like this pic then, first light coming in the window, lighting up the wood on the Winchester. It isnt a very clear pic, I think the camera may have been fogging up some from being outside. The wood in the Winchester's stock is pretty nice, if you like wood. Thought I had a differnt pic of the "office" area, but this will have to do for now.
