The Cabin, Weekend 2

The cabin is really coming along. Dad did some unauthorized improvements while I was away during the week; all for the better, it will now be a fancy proper housish-cabin with a toilet and sink. Saturday we got the subfloor finished and the east wall framed up. The east wall will be windowless, since it looks directly onto the hillside.

On Sunday we framed the remaining three walls, setting studs at 16". Window and door framings will be decided on once we find the windows and doors. We figured out a template for the rafters, and those are waiting to be cut next Saturday. The roof has a decent peak, over 4 feet above the sidewalls, so it should be enough room for a little loft at the north end.

Does anyone want to give me a bunch of double-hung windows and sliding French doors? Eh?

You forgot to mention that awesome last 10 feet of trail that your sister dug. OH YEAH ..

Just kidding. It's awesome! And everyone loves seeing you in SY so often!

It looks like it's going to be fantastic. Good luck!
In addition to digging holes, your sister and I have skills painting and playing with contact paper on shelving. Or, better yet, we can provide cookies and lemonade in exchange for an opportunity to chill at the future cabin.
