My 20x30 cabin with loft in quebec

[Bobby.B]

are the pics showing now??? 

[MountainDon]

Not for me

I can get them to open in a new window/tab by copying the uel. But the average user can not see the url to copy it.

Really odd thing is the following urls, copied from the replies #71 and #72 sometimes open an image for me and sometimes do not.     Do they work for anyone else? Try copying them into a new window if clickinh on them does nothing.

I have pix.  Bobby.... -7 will not support life.  Get out of there fast....

That's way too cold for me.

If you did anything in that cold you did good.

Hi again Bobby,

It's me again!!  Hope this Spring finds you well.  I know you said that the your veranda caused you no issues with the soffit, but now that I'm there in my installation, I don't understand how you vented the side of the cabin where the veranda is attached.  With the facia gone, doesn't that eliminate the option of installing soffits?

Any further explanation would be greatly appreciated.

Curt

[glenn kangiser]

You could put blocking in there to install the soffit to, Curt.

[Bobby.B]

I will be installing these vents http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Construction/Roofline+Ventilation/Single+Round+Soffit+Vent+Brown/d210/sd2747/p68777   in the veranda ceiling same location where the regular soffit would be.

[Bobby.B]

I am thinking about using insulation with kraft paper on my ceiling of the cottage . I don't know much about it .I am told I will require some type of hardware to install it .I am assuming I will not need a vapor barrier. Do I just staple this to the studs.javascript:void(0);

[MountainDon]

Yes you can staple the kraft backed batts up in between the ceiling joists. That's what I did to get the first layer of insulation up there. That was last fall. We installed R13 as a start and because I got a slight deal on some. This June we'll be renting a cellulose blower and blowing in about R30 worth on top of the fiberglass.

Bobby.B there is a flange on the paper side(moisture barrier) that attaches to each side of the lumber.  Generally staples are used.  By attaching to the sides it still allows you to see the lumbers face edge for attaching the ceiling/wall covering(drywall or lumber).

[Bobby.B]

I found a used metal spiral stair case for $250.
Out with the drop down stairs and in with the metal sooo much better. 



Siding is coming along slowly 2 walls just about done   

[mikkelibob]

Looks great. So jealous of the spiral staircase. $250? Score!

[Redoverfarm]

Bobby great find.  Sets the interior off.

[glenn kangiser]

Cool, Bobby.

[mattl]

I love what you have created.

[Bobby.B]

Before

After


I had a bulldozer come in for 4 hours to start building a road to the lake .He made it about half way down the hill that's about as far as a bulldozer would make it .I guess I will have to start building some stairs now.

[Alberta Curt]

hey Bobby,

Haven't talked in awhile.  Hope all finds you well.  I still haven't completed my soffit under the veranda you helped me with.  Do you have any pics of the soffit work you did underneath the veranda?  Sure would be interested in seeing them.

We decided to do one of the kitchen walls in a slate tile

[Turkeyhunter]

[oifmarine]

Looks great.  What are you putting up on the ceiling?  Can't wait to see the finished product.  I am leaning doing a cabin like yours.  I was originally going to do one like Rob lemay did but I think I might like yours better now.  Keep up the good work!

[Bobby.B]

Thanks for the comments OIFMARINE.We have completed the ceiling, it is finished in a pine tounge and groove that i purchased from READY PINE.I will try to attach a picture it has been a wile since I have done one . Thanks again  

[oifmarine]

Wow, the celing turned out great!  Thanks for the pictures!

[Bobby.B]

 I have finally had a chance to post some pictures of our kitchen we recently installed. we still have some minor things to finish like slate tiles for the back splash and water hook up it is coming along slow but it is getting there.
