I just read thru your entire thread. Your cabin is sweet. I'm a little surprised that some of the haters haven't started slamming you yet for being rich. Anyway, I love your build and will watch the progress.

Thanks Salty for the kind praise. I do get a sense that I get a cold shoulder from lots of members. In my neck of the woods a small cabin is 20 X 30.

Hey Shadyacres, Thanks for posting the pics. It's inspiring. I'm curious. How much of the work did you do yourself?

Hello Walthall, I can say I have done a lot of work but not all. Of course I had someone excavate for the basement then I placed the drain pipe and helped with the stone base. Then the superior wall people put up the basement ( in about a hour and a half I might add). I then installed the sill plates. I had a local crew put up the shell. I did finish the osb in the gable areas. It is fun putting up a 4 X 8 sheet of osb about 4-6 ft above your top ladder rung by yourself. But I got the gables done THEN I bought scaffolding. I did the fascia and soffit and also installed the gable metal edges. I put all the windows in myself accept the gable windows because they were hard to lift in place by myself. Basically everything else I did myself. That includes moving the monster pile of rocks and dirt that was behind the cabin from digging the basement. I abuse my John Deere 770 but it keeps on ticking. Thanks for the question and if you have any more I will be glad to answer or try to answer them. Shady Acres

I must warn you that you may find my thread quite unorganized. Its a bunch of random mumbo jumbo with a few cabin pictures. Not really a complete document of my adventures. I didn't really put pictures of my progress like many of the intelligent folks did. My strong opinions are mostly gathered by ready my interactions with others on this forum. I'm a conservative known as;

Finally decided to go with vinyl siding with some hemlock board and batten in the front gable.

I made need 2 1/2 men to help me install this bar top. 2 3/4 think hickory and oak makes it mighty heavy. Once in place it will be very solid.

Yes Salty , I noticed we have a lot of similarities in colors inside and out of the cabin. Yes , I may have gone overboard on the top , I had to slide it to get to the table to sand it down.

What a great build!! You're gonna like the lack of maintainance on the siding you chose -- our "big lodge' actually has steel siding shaped like logs -- it sounded horrible -- but actually really looks nice and fits right into the surrounding Arapahoe National forest setting -- Its been there since 2001 and haven't lifted a finger the composite deck is awesome as well ..

Wow , brokeneck what a beautiful cabin. I see what you mean with the siding , it looks like real logs from that distance. Do you have a thread on this site ? I tossed about using all board and batten and I know it would have looked really nice but I kept coming back to the maintenance issue so I decided to use vinyl with some board and batten thrown in for good measure. Thanks for the kind words.
