Well just got back from a great long weekend at the cabin and I got some real progress done first I wired and mounted the last five solar panels and started up the system and it works great am now running my cabin with electric fridge with no problems also now have running water in the cabin and finished up the t&g pine in the high sealing area of the kitchen and living room and all the finish trim work
I just can't wait to get back up there and put in some more time..

Very nice place customrunner. Looks like you are getting down to the finishing stages...not that a cabin is ever really done...which is the fun part...right??
Curious if you have any pics of how you connected the rafters to the top plate. I am planning a shed type roof as well. Typical framing calls for birds mouth cuts so the rafters sit flush on the top plate. It doesn't look like you did this and made had a connectors instead?? I am not an expert framer and would love to avoid the birds mouth cut if possible but still want something that is going to provide a strong connection.

Hi Oilerfan, I used earth quake plates cheap and easy to instal insted of doing the birds mouth cut and ripped 2"x4"s on the angel to match the pitch of the roof that sit flush on the top plates so the rafters sit flush, never like the idea of taking material out of a rafter (and I'm no framer either).
As for nearing the end well my to do list is as long as a babys arm so I gues I'm getting closser LOL!!!

Customrunner... How tall is the front upper section, above the wall ? Building a new hunting cabin, and like how you have the upper windows too.
