Quoting: customrunner smitty I havent worked out the load but the area averages about 12" of snow a year but should'nt be a problem as there will be a wall running from one end to the other dividing the bedrooms and bathroom from the kitchen and livingroom. P.s. will be braceing before roof goes on..
Ahhh, ok I gotcha.. I see what you are doing. Thanks!

Now that is ambitious working in -24 weather!! I'd say "hats off to you", but you'd better keep them on in that weather! *S*

Dang....I sure am glad we didn't have your weather while putting on my roof! It was cold, and cloudy, but when I say cold, I mean like 38 degrees....not -24!

It's looking great. Good to have that stove in. It's not cool to have the dog's water dish freezing.

Makes me cold just looking at the snow. Here in NE TN, we are at 60 degrees with light breeze. Very unusal for this time of year. You have made great progress is a very short period of time. I love the deals you have gotten on line.

So since the weather is limiting my time at the cabin I will be prefabing my front deck at my home, the deck will be 20' x 6' (built with 2" x 6"PT lumber) with cover that will tie into cabin just below the trim line.
Will post picks as I get started

How the heck did you get the woodstove into the camper , I almost stroked out getting ours up a make shift ramp of 2x10s and then a 6 inch platform where it sits. I love your setting , its like a postcard and the cabin is looking at home . All the pre fabbing at home makes it easier than having to do it all on site but it takes some planning doesn't.

thanks for the kind words.
Mr. Troll
It was'nt fun getting the stove into my trailer or back out and then back into truck then out of truck into c-can so not really looking forward to moving into cabin but I am stubern and if there is a will theres a way(and I also almost strocked out). As for the pree fab yes took some thought just have to keep the desine simple and cuts accurate as if there not, you will not have much fun during assembly, and basicaly lose all the time you saved.
