Nice!

My upstate cabin is 20 X 24, but 2 stories high. It replaced the 12 X 20 one story high that just never seemed big enough if you had more than 2 or 3 people. We insulated the walls on the second floor. The upstairs is for sleeping and playing cards.

We are off the grid (in the Catskill Mtns, 2,200 feet up) and have a 55 gal woodstove for heat and solar panels for electric lights.

The frame is post and beam Ash (milled with the chainsaw), but the outside is just stained 5/8" plywood with a layer of cement board around the bottom to protect it from the porcupines.

Some nice stuff guys. The cabins really make me wish I could still go hang out somewhere like that occasionally.

One of the local tree guys got hired to take down this large box elder and didn’t want the main trunk to go to waste so I’m supposed to mill it this week or next for him. See if it’s sold or not may be good may be junk but if nice with lots of flame it will be a 40” or so center log slab.
