It's really coming together.  I love the ceiling.  Looks like the drywall crew did a good job too.

Good Morning  c*

Got a very small update. I painted the house inside and out. The outside took 2 gallons and a quart plus a quart of white trim paint. The inside took 8 gallons. The insane thing is that means that I painted the outside for about $88 dollars and the inside for about $240.
That's what happens when you do things the old fashioned way, since I painted with a brush on the outside and a roller on the inside.
Here is the vid..

Good Morning all,  c*
Take a look at what's going on at the house. Some digging was done sewer is connected, had to wait for the power company.
Now the house is taking shape and the cabin style is starting to show a little bit.

All done baby, next week I will reveal the total price of this build, everything out the door.

And to think this Forum was responsible for me getting into this business. Thank you for all the mods and the members who helped me when I was on here many years ago. Now I build affordable housing for people and I love it.

Small cabin is next by the way, I'm closing on land next week and here we go again!!!  :)

That is a great little place you built. It is really refreshing to see someone take pride in building for regular people.

Thx Nathan, as I said this forum planted the seed and this is what grew out of it lol.

It came out really nice.  I can tell it's more than a job or paycheck which is nice.  I'd definitely hire you to GC a build for me if I didn't do that stuff myself!

Sounds like you been there huh?  ;D I just got back from a meeting, my grading guy says hes booked to year 2147 he said he'll see when I can get squeezed in. I'm about to submit my permit paperwork for a 16by28 cabin, 1 Bedroom 1 bath on one level.

Last year it snowed up here on April 30th.

Honestly one of the first things I noticed in your videos was how things were green VERY late into the year. Green with envy, I am.

I really enjoy gardening and like looking at climates around the world. The southern Appalachians seems prime to me. There is actually a small area that has the same Koppen Classification as England.

I just got back in from tapping our maple trees, a lot of winter left to go up here.

So far here it hasn't snowed once. This winter has been warm, but when it starts raining it can rain everyday for a week easy. But I dont mind it too much, just sucks when you want to build something.
As I am typing this you just gave me an idea, I need to start putting more nature and scenery into my shots. The appalachians are something else in the summer so much green everywhere it's awesome to look at, a lot better then the concrete jungle I lived in before.

Weather can be quite strange, especially with different elevations.  My cabin lays in a kind of micro-climate it seems.  I live about 1h15 drive from the cabin (across the Canada/USA border).  At home we've been hit with 16" snowfalls in one day, must be about 4' deep in places.  Went to the cabin last weekend to take some measurements for the stove, roof was bare, field had the ends of the grass peeking through.  Such a difference in so little distance, but I am up in the mountains a bit (maybe 3800 ft) compared to home which is maybe at 160 feet above sea level.
