Wow! Good stuff. If you have more videos to add to this thread count me in as a viewer. Might need you to help me build some decks soon. Stay cool up there!

Hmmm..... Normally a link and forum name like that makes me think 'spammer' but you are in the PNW so perhaps a real honest person though clearly you wouldn't need my help to build a deck

And thanks for the kind words. I usually don't post here as often as in the past but that's because my videos are more about power these days than about building since I'm too beat up these days to do as much hard work as I used to.

Merry Christmas everyone!

It's been a while

so I thought I would toss out an update.

The foundation which is now about 23rds complete (the new foundation) and is entirely closed in now, has made a HUGE difference to overnight temperature swings and ease of keeping the cabin warm in the winter. I know, I know, that was obvious but I didn't think it would make THAT much of a difference! ha ha

This spring we plan to finish the last 1 1/2 walls and add the foundation for the addition as well, which will be a 12x18 master and an 8x10 dinning area in an L shape around the East and South walls. I used to have sketch up but it seems to no longer work and new versions they want you to pay or something....I might have to find something else so I can do a drawing.

We are also planning the first guest cabin which will be a D-log butt and pass style cabin in the 10x12 range. Bascially a 'bedroom' cabin with a wood cookstove for heat, a bed, some chairs, maybe a counter of sorts and a power station to run things with a place to put a portable solar panel. That way the power station and solar panel can be brought up when needed and removed when not there, making it secure

Meanwhile, my battle with the critters got a little higher tech
