cabin project first pic

All the bottles and screens or w/e are super creative. That's something I would do 😄 You decided against any colored bottles?

Liking your project. Keep up the good work!

First update in a while and I insulated the ceiling and upper wall sections of the cabin. I had to settle for conventional pink fiberglass and foam board insulation for several reasons mostly being budget, and lack of available help. As I've written before I'm doing this project mostly solo so in order to make progress based on my available time I've had to cut many corners in terms of doing a natural building. Still, I'm happy to be at least partially insulated now and glad to have this part of the project out of the way.

And here we have the deck build. New materials for the framing but the top decking boards are all repurposed picnic tables from an RV park. Though they were mostly warped and in bad shape I was able to lock them into place with clamps and screw them down for good. Will be expanding the deck soon, more pictures of the whole project coming soon as I haven't been posting here alot. New trees, and fences happened this summer too, stay tuned.

So... it's been quite a while since I have been on Permies, for a whole list of reasons but here I am. I have worked on this cabin a tremendous amount since my last post. In a way, I am done, or I could call it finished. But I know that is not true and doubt I will ever be "done" with this project. Still, I did manage to get it to a place where animals or weather couldn't get a foothold on it. I kept getting birds trying to make nests in the walls so I encased the whole thing in corrugated metal roofing. I improved the interior, built a loft and crammed a queen mattress up there. I got to putting a finish natural plaster on the interior, which actually turned out pretty well but was so much work. The floor ended up being capped with a thin layer of concrete, (also a ton of work by myself. I bought 2nd hand cabinets and installed them. It's a relatively livable little shack now but turns out I don't live in the area anymore. Being about 5 hours away it serves as a getaway cabin now. I could go on and on but I'll just wrap it up and field any questions as they come in if there happens to be any. Best of luck on all of your projects out there!
