Hello I am new to this forum and only found it because I wanted a place to share my build but am glad I did, there are so many great projects posted here.
My project started when I acquired a piece of property my family has owned since the 70's and I grew up on. As soon as I owned it I started planning and building.
The spot I am building is where our barn used to sit.
My ultimate goal is to build a 24 x 24 log cabin and the foundation is completed for that cabin but I needed somewhere to stay while I am building that. I am a business owner so I can pull off a few long weekends but I was not able to take off a couple weeks to build so my solution was to build the cabin in FL where I live, break it down onto a trailer and assemble it in TN. The first pic is of the barn that used to stand where our cabin is going.

So as I said I built the cabin in a commercial bay in FLA and it worked well except it was not tall enough to trial fit the trusses.![cabin_1.JPG cabin_1.JPG](https://www.small-cabin.com/forum/shared_files/uploaded/8715/122126_1.jpg) cabin_1.JPG

Looks like a great adventure. What kind of foundation are you using?

Quoting: creeky What kind of foundation are you using?
solid concrete blocks. I,m not 100% sure if I will keep it once the log cabin is complete witch is the reason for the skids, on the other hand it may become our guest house.

Sometimes you need moments like this to remind you why your working 14 hours a day in 20 degrees. The foundation in the back ground is the next project(log cabin)

By the end of day 2 we had the structure frame and rafters set. The pre-cutting and notching made it to where I rarely needed a tape measure or saw so it really saved time in the reassembly.![IMG_3217.PNG IMG_3217.PNG](https://www.small-cabin.com/forum/shared_files/uploaded/8715/122346_1.jpg) IMG_3217.PNG

Day 3 / 21 degrees/ heavy frost/
I didn't get many pictures cause I didn't stop working long enough. One thing I would do different next time is I did not put the Tyvek on in Fl because I didn't want a seam every 8 feet for weather to creep through but this meant we had to remove all the wall paneling ,install the Tyvek then reinstall the wall paneling, this added at least three hours.![IMG_3221.PNG IMG_3221.PNG](https://www.small-cabin.com/forum/shared_files/uploaded/8715/122347_1.jpg) IMG_3221.PNG

So After 3 days of work its was time to go home and plan for the next trip but here are a few more pics. The first is the floor joists and you can see some rubber , this is from the load shifting on the trailer and before I realized it I had removed about a 1/8" of the side wall. The second pic is standing in the front door looking toward the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom in the back. The third is the loft
The fourth is a panoramic form standing in the laundry room of the entire inside.![IMG_3224.PNG IMG_3224.PNG](https://www.small-cabin.com/forum/shared_files/uploaded/8715/122348_1.jpg) IMG_3224.PNG

When I arrived to continue work nature was already trying to claim the property back so I had to spend the first day mowing and trimming.

Very cool. Looks great! I'm confused about the house wrap. Why do you need it? Looks like you are using T1-11 plywood for the siding, no? Around here we use that without any housewrap ever.

I had the roof installed before my third trip. On the third trip I installed the drain and supply plumbing and some electrical so not many pics. I also installed temporary steps, underpinning, truss bracing, and cedar porch poles from the farm.
