 Totally cool. Chalk up another small cabin.
 
 What kind of siding is that?

 I really like the siding. Like bldginsp, I too am interested in what it is and where you got it.
 
 What are your dimensions? I thought maybe 12X16 but it looks a little bigger than that. My son and I started with a 12X16 but added another bunkroom so now it's 16X20.
 
 Keep the pictures coming! Nice job on your build

 old buddy-Insp,
 The siding is actually a double 5" vinyl siding-color is called Cabin Brown from Mid-South Supply here in Pa.I had to special order it and you could only order it by 2 square boxes and not by the piece.I have 10 or11 pcs left which is good because right after I got the cabin done my supplier calls 2 days later and informs me they will no longer make that color.Oh well-what can you do!I love the log cabins but didn,t want the upkeep or initial expense.Have a great day!!!!

 Thanks for the reply. Just my luck......
 
 How big is it? How many squares of siding did it take to cover it?
 
 Again....it looks almost like real slab logs in the photos.
