Finally we slept in our cabin, so I guess it's time for me to post, rather than lurk!
Our cabin is built on the hubby's family homestead farm. It's been in the family for over 100 years, and backs on to the North Saskatchewan River here in Alberta. His parents live in the old farmhouse, and though there is electricity, gas, and water to the site, our cabin is off the grid. We are using a Honda 3000 generator and solar panels for electricity. There will be no running water, just a biffy out back.
The cabin is 16 X 24, two bedrooms, on large living room/kitchen, and a loft. Heat will come from a wood stove. We started on it back in March and can only work on it every couple of weekends, so we are sitting with a bedroom done, the cabinets, counter, and second half of the floor are getting installed this weekend. Next weekend we hope to install the wood stove, cause it's getting chilly!
And eventually, we should actually build the biffy. Anyone want to invent a solar-powered biffy seat heater?
