Cool!  I just installed a solar streetlamp and am getting two more!  Having lights all around a cabin is awesome!

I started roofing this past weekend, got about half done.  I will post some images later on.
One quick question, I have a VERY old CO detector that appears to still work.
I ran my Mr. Buddy heater a bit on Saturday night (maybe an hour at a time, off and on) because it was about 50F with no insulation yet so a tab bit nippy to say the least.  In the morning, I checked my detector, and it recorded a peak value of 21 PPM.  Extrapolating from what I can find on Google, at that level I would be safe for about 4+ hours.  

Does anyone recommend a good detector that I can use that continuously monitors carbon monoxide so I can quickly look anytime I wake up to make sure I do wake up in the morning?  I am pretty surprised it got to 21 PPM with only running an hour here and there, with my soffits wide open and nothing blocking the airflow (yet).  I slept there on Saturday night so I could start working bright and early on Sunday morning.  I think I need a new sleeping bag, or maybe a 12V blanket to keep me warm at night.  

I will eventually install a permanent heater of some kind...  but there's still a ton of work to complete first.

Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.

I haven't updated this thread in a while.  Put on a tin roof last fall, and working on the siding now.

First time using the forum to upload images. 
I was using Imgur but I also lost access to those.  

The siding is actually done on the front and sides, just working on the back now.  Takes time to cut around stuff, like these custom boxes where I am storing my diesel heater and fuel tank.

Still need to route the muffler and intake properly, hopefully before it snows.
