Sorry its been awhile, but life has been busy as my wife just gave birth to our first kiddo! Luckily, I was able to get the cabin dried in. Some pics of progress:
Front Gable Wall Going Up
Since my trusses were not built properly, the truss plant stepped up and paid for a new set of trusses and a helicopter transport. I am glad they footed the bill, but the screw up really slowed my build down (at least I ended up with a whole other roof I can use for another building project). It was incredibly dangerous, but one of most incredibly skilled pilot delivered the trusses to the front yard (thanks Danielle).
Wife was pregnant and unable to assist me with the roof. The trusses were 140-180 lbs a piece and impossible for me to move into place by myself. I was able to build a jig on the floor, splice them together, and then a friend and myself were able to move them up to the loft. A couple freinds and my brother came up to help get the roof on as the first snow was fast approaching and I was in a time crunch.
Dried in for winter. I chose to not offset the seams of the sheeting due to the offsets breaking where windows were and felt it was stronger the way I did it, but who knows.
Pic of the cabin from the lake. Figure I need to trim about 10-12 trees to have a very good view from the back side of the cabin.
First kid born a couple weeks later. Can't tell you how relived I was to get it dried in and my tools/investment protected....now I can chillax for awhile.
