Looks Good ! Like the Gambrel Roof, great way to get that "little extra" space up top. Was my first choice to do that in my build but time & labour to do it and the timeframe I am left with clobbered that. May you enjoy it and have a blast in the new place. Now go CATCH FISH !!!

would go fishing but we got 5" of snow. my next task will be to tie down the cabin incase of high winds. I'm using mobilehome strapping sinking bolts every 8' into the concrete slab. then wrapping over the runners and using lag bolts through the runners. also putting rafter ties from the runners to the floor joices.

worked on the tie downs and the second step railing, got the railing completed but did not take a pic, I used mobile home tie downs per state regs 8 foot apart using the expanding bolts into 6 inch slab and had to drill hole into the clips that usually would hook to the steel frame, since my runners are wood I used lag screws through the clip into the runners. I did this because the cabin sits on 24 inch cinder block piers sitting on the concrete slab.

Hi. Your cabin is looking great. I have the same size and layout of building. Do you guys have any issues with sag on the long edges of the cabin? Due to the skid set in ~8-10" from the building edge the weight of the finish out material is causing the edges of my cabin to sag. I'm measuring about 1" over 8' right now.
