PN, I signed up onto this site just to ask you what happened with the Palais? The two years are up, are they not? Have you completed the expansion to comply with regs?
The Shaque is amazing - the most action packed 108 sq ft I've ever seen, I think. Drop-dead gorgeous site, fantastic space planning and just cute as a button - and the expanded version looks to be equally as wonderful.
If you were thinking that 647 sq ft is "out of "small cabin" territory and so isn't appropriate for this site, other projects I've seen here are well upwards of 900.
So please, please update your progress with lots of pics, otherwise we'll always have nightmares that you fell out of the loft & conked your head or your canoe sank or something.

Heh-heh, trollbridge, if you and I can't persuade him to come back here - even if only to allay our fears that [cue the violins] poor Nigel The Dog is now wandering the woods having to fend for himself because his Dad has gone MIA - perhaps some of the Ontarians on this site can organize a search party for Project North and shame him into updating for us.

HAHAHA. Yes....shame can work wonders!!
And if by chance he did conk his head so hard that he no longer finds the appeal in the red buffalo plaid bed covering and wool sock pillow I will gladly take them off his hands and use them at my cabin! LOL

Hahaha.
I'm back - just took a hiatus!
This year in order to secure my building permit I had to complete my greywater leaching bed and have it inspected. Having trouble coordinating for the inspection.

I really like the original design size. Do you have some plan with mesurements?

Salut Avan,
The original design dimensions are 8'-0" x 13'-6". The loft bed area is basically the width of a queen size bed (5'-0") with kitchen under.

height to the underside of the bunk floor is 6'-8" i think. there are 2x6 floor joists.
in the loft itself you can stand at the front side and see out the upper window which overlooks the lower roof. So it's probably 6'-2" or so. it's high enough so the window that i had bought fits between the upper and lower roof.

Hey Avan,
That's it absolutely. Looks like a sketchup model - i recognize that scale figure. There is a 5'-0" sliding patio door facing the side we are viewing.

Many municipalities treat greywater as sewage and require septic tank & leechfield.
That's so cool that the municipality is letting you do only a trench for the greywater.

I just have a ladder to the loft. It's from an old RV or trailer. I bought it off e-bay.

Did you ever finish the expansion they made you build, project-north?
You haven't given us any pictures recently. How about an update?

I did build a little workshop/shed last year. Also a gratuitous pic of my dog basking in the sun by the lake.

Ahhh, thanks! Much appreciated.
I don't know why exactly, but I can practically feel my blood pressure come down just looking at the pictures of your project. I guess it's that enchanting site & the way the cabin is tucked slightly behind the trees? (Filtered water views seem more relaxing to me for some reason.) Also Nigel.
Did the local building dept. people not give you a time limit on when you have to finish?

Here are some updated pics of my Shaque du Bois. Have built an addition (den) and am very happy with the expanded space. Currently sitting at 256 s.f. including the loft queen bed.
I'm taking a cabinet making course this winter so hopefully can do a whole new kitchen next year.
