Nice looking beams, mostly red which means they're mostly heartwood. I kept some slabs also, planning to build a short fence on either side of my gate. Possibilities are endless when it comes to cedar slabs.

dang it's H O T !!!!!!!!!!!!
got the knee walls built this morning on each side of the loft area, going to have a small storage area on each side as well ( behind knee wall)
got the 3 red cedar beams installed this morning as well.
pic --looking from the loft bedroom to the den area........... the red cedar smells nice in cabin
also removed all but one temp. bracing today as well, except the one vertical 2 x 4 in the center of the room( the one in center of last pic), the friend who has the sawmill cut four 4 x 6's from the red cedar, going back over and buy the 4th one, and put it in center of the wall --up to the LVL beam for added support. ****Forgot about the 3 strongback temp. braces on the den wall, those will be removed when i insulate and put my t & g pines boards up.

i will have a couple small doors on each side to store, my hunting gear.
went back by the sawmill got my other beam, and he had 4 boards he had cut off the same cedar, when he cut my beams. I bought the board for 10 bucks---DEAL for sure.
the other beam is on the left, and the 4 boards that are to the left of it, it was he charged me 10 bucks for.
also picked up this 36" x 48" BRAND NEW shower unit, off Clist...
with new faucets and shower head for 150 total---just what i was looking for...........and only a 15 mile drive to pick it up!!!!!

bout 4 miles up the road the way the crow flies........:-)
Quoting: Erins#1Mom Had they "cured"?
trees were cut about 10 years ago-- guy was clearing his fence line for high fence game preserve....and my friend got them and stored them until now. he sawed them Friday......$20 each for the 4" x 6" 's.....i bet PT ones were at least that much at 12 ft lenght. I love the way the cedar smells and looks.
-Quoting: Erins#1Mom I am amazed at all the good items ya'll find on craigs.
i love CList, you can find anything you are looking for, i looked at showers at home depot, they were 387 plus tax----and i got faucets and shower head too.......i bet that is 75 dollars or more

Thanks folks--i appreciate it.
went down this morning to the camp---got the verticle cedar beam installed 1st thing, removed the temp. brace pole.
got both outside doors installed, what a PIA!!!!!
got 4 locks installed, have to go back and do some finish work with chisels on the striker plates. It was the hottest day yet at camp a solid 100 deg. I have offically knocked off work on this project till fall.
Will do a few small things early in the morning down there---but nothing big.

Looking good. Man it must be hot as heck to not do any more work till fall. It has been in the low 70's here and at night in the low 50's. I don't know if I could take that heat. Your place looks great.

I have never been south any further then the Black Hills of S. Dak. I do know people that have visited your area and have said in can get so hot and humid. I love the cold weather and wish I could send you some cool weather. We are suppose to get 90's tomorrow and can hot here for a few weeks in July but the night's get cool so that helps. Again great job on that cabin you have done a ton of work so far.

What is the blue color in front of your front door? Are you going to get power to your cabin or use a generator?

it's indooor / outdoor BLUE carpet that i used in under my awning in my old camper that i sold. Also that really the back door and where i will come in and out of.
Quoting: neb Are you going to get power to your cabin or use a generator?
local co-op power, i have it at my old cabin and am going to run it underground and with a friends of mine ditch witch, and water from a existing well i use at my old cabin. 1st thing i done after i cleared building site, was run a temp. power & a 3/4" water line to a temp., pole w/ light and ground fault rec.so i could use for the build.
It's so hot here you have to have AC to make it during archery season.

Hey hows it going,
Just wondering, what did you use for your roof rafters? are those 2x6's? what is your spacing?
how much did it cost for your roof? and what size are the panels and cost for each one? Im about to do the same for my roof. Yours looks really good. Great job!

Quoting: Mark2011 what size are the panels and cost for each one? Im
16ft and they were about 1.55cent per foot ( i think) , the metal for the roof cost me less than $900 with ridge vent and 3 bags of screws
Quoting: Mark2011 what did you use for your roof rafters? are those 2x6's?
2" x 8"'s
Quoting: Mark2011 what is your spacing?
16" on center
Quoting: Mark2011 Yours looks really good. Great job!
thank you sir i appreciate it.
note--on the rafters i used 2 x 4 pine not PT on 24 inch centers, the metal co. said not to use PT as it will discolor the metal roof in time.Hope this helps in your build.
