Bought a 5000 btu ac. Works fine on our Honda 2000 generator. Started on the interior walls.

Gloria and I spent a vacation week working on the inside. Still have some trim to put up, but the walls and ceiling are done.

Looks Great. Help me understand why you insulated the porch ceiling?
Also, IIRC in the days prior to AC, Southern homes had high ceilings but no insulation. The reason was that if you insulated the house, it would heat up during the day and would never cool off at night. It makes me wonder if insulating your cabin will require AC for this same reason. Of course, if you condition the inside, heat or cool, insulation will help.
I'm still curious about the porch insulation. That place is beautiful!

pondjumpr, thanks for the compliments.
Right or wrong, I insulated the porch because I thought it would help with the radiant heat from the tin roof.
The inside insulation holds in the heat for sure. We have a 5000 btu window a/c to cool it off when we arrive. It cools the air down pretty quick, but have to leave it running for about 4 hours at first to cool everything inside down. The a/c was a life saver during July and August. I hope to have a propane heater installed before winter.

We spent the week after Christmas working at the cabin. Finish the chest and closet. Put the flooring down. Painted and installed the bed.

your camp looks great...I thought about your place the other day with all the rain...we had "down south" wondered how it made out in all the floods...I know of some camps that did not make it during the floods.

Thanks. Stein and turkeyhunter. The water was a couple of feet above flood stage and will have to go up another 10 ft. to cause us problems.

Wow. The Ohoopie River was high last year, this time. TomSmith, I'm from Gawga as well. Savannah. I live in Cambodia, though. Super nice place you have there.
Not sure if you are still active on this forum. But, if you are, I would love to see photos of your finished cabin.
Kudos to you and your wife, sir. Job well done.

Thanks abby and ILFE. ILFE, we are still working on it. The picture above with the loaded canoe was only a couple of weeks ago. The waterway behind the canoe is our road in. The river was a couple of feet above flood stage. Savannah is close to home. I grew up in Sylvania, about 60 miles northwest of Savannah.
