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?
