 95% done. Gutters go on this week and we can hook up the rain barrel. Propane is just about hooked up. Solar panel is working great. Stayed over this weekend for the first time. Wow, what a quit place. Waiting for the cedar log bed to come in and the upstairs will be done.

 Love it. Great job. Feels like you could arrive and just sink right into it all.
 
 How did u secure the debarked log at top and bottom?  Do you have to scribe so it meets flush?

 The place looks great and the furniture really sets things off well.
 
 You will be 100% off grid?

 Yes, I'm not even close to electric. So all I have so far is an 80watt solar panel. All I need right now is lights and the panel is doing a good job of that. I may add panels and batteries later on.

 Pfireptoof, do you have a layout plan and pics of the kitchen wall?  Could you post them?  I am currently building a 16x24 and my stairs look exactly the same.  I would like to "see" how much space I will have on that wall.  My hubby wants t&g on the walls, and I wasn't sure until I saw your pics.  I think it will look great!
 
 Thanks for sharing.

 I really don't have a layout for the kitchen. Not sure what you mean by the kitchen wall but all the walls and ceilings are T&G. I have the wood burner (which by the way was not in yet when those pictures were taken, but the picture of the front door and rocker is the corner where the stove is now). The next corner has the kitchen in it. Then since the stair landing took up a corner I decided to utilize the space under stairs to build a small room for a portable bath room. Soon I want to post newer pictures. What I did for the kitchen was put hickory cabinets from Lowes, hickory wood floor, stove top powered with propane, a sink with a RV water pump hooked to a lawn tractor battery under the sink. The pump works "on demand", when you turn the facet on the pump comes on, when you turn it off, it goes off.

 What kind of T&G did you use?
 
 white pine, red pine, ponderosa?
 
 I'm getting ready to purchase T&G for our small cabin...
 I can get eastern white pine or red pine.
 
 Does anyone have comments on T&G?

 What finish did you use on the T&G?
 
 We just bought a fixer-upper cabin and it has some damaged paneling inside. I'm going to replace with pine T&G.

 I don't know what kind of pine the T&G is, my son got it from Carter Lumber. I can't remember what brand poly I used. But, here are are few up dated pics.
