Sorry to go back in time but since you're close to me, do you remember how far down you went with your sauna tubes?  What was the advantage to using the bigfoot?

Thanks

Do you plan on adding battens....will the siding be "Board and Batten?  Could you share some costs?

Thanks

 The bigfoot helps with support . You dont have to put a footing when you use them. You just pour it all at one time.  Where are you building???

There will e a full bathroom inside with a composting toilet. We should be able to keep it under $15,000.00 but it adds up fast

I live just outside of Littleton but the camp is on Fish Pond in Columbia, NH all the way up near Canada.
Thanks for the info, I've enjoyed watching your progress it looks great.

QuoteShoot, I thought all men liked to be called by pet names

With "pet" being the operative word   ;D

(Couldn't resist!)

Now back to our regularly scheduled program...

The cabin is great-so rustic and real

QuoteThe idea is to get them to dry after they  get wet without pooling water behind them.  
See how easy that was -after I knew what was on your mind? :)

So that's the answer...  :-?

Nice looking roof and battens, Dave.  

Did you pre-punch or drill to get your screws lined up so nicely?

Went up today and got the other side of the roof done. Went really good .

How did you insulate underneath the pier and beams?  What kind of heat are you planning on using?
Tks!

dmlsr

thanks

Thanks Dave,

We bought a cabin (3 season) place in PA last year that sits on pier and beams and we have

baseboard heat and a wood stove.  No insulation underneath.  So we will have to winterize it

and close it for the season soon.  I was just wondering what you did for insulation.  Thanks.

Your place looks good.  A lot of heart and soul put into it.  Stay warm

Dave, from the earlier pics of the loft framing it looks like you supported the end of the 4x8?? loft beam with a couple of 2x6's.  Was that temporary or is that what you stayed with?  Pete

Wow, you have working shutters.  (one of my mothers's pet peeves was shutters that were just for looks, which they all were where we lived in North Carolina)
