Nice pics. I have bear and bobcat. I'm still trying to get cougar. I'll never get elk, maybe moose. I have five trail cams out. Looks like you have at least three.

Curious...I am about to build a 16x24 cabin with my dad...what size beams did you use & joist size? I want to do a 16x24, with 3 rows of 5 piers spaced 6' apart. Not sure if poring concrete tubes, or using PT 6x6 on a footing. I was hoping 4x8x12 beams would hold with 2x8x16 joist. This is our first cabin project. This is my cabin, so trying to plan everything myself. I am using 2x6 for wall, with 4/12 roof truss, that i will order. Not going to tackle roofing on my first build. Simple open floor plan. Bringing in electric, but will use compsot for toilet. Will store water until I have a well dug. Going off grid. Any help or feedback would be appreciated...

I am curious about the two different outside siding applications? Any reason you are using Lap siding on the front and a board and baton appearance on the side. It doesn't look like the base for lap siding on the ends, because you didn't use it in the front. Just curious, I like the looks of both. I like the window framing simple, unique, and easy.

price of material has heavily dictated this whole project the lap siding is 10'' clear quartersawn cedar ( $30 ) couldn't pass it up! the batons are 5/4 x1.5'' cedar ripped from wider boards and the window and corner trim are all 5/4x4 rough cedar that had turned grey and was being tossed out. Is funny since peaple pay for that look LOL
