Title: cabin pics (now living in it)
Post by: Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive on March 17, 2011, 12:51:44 am

ok obviously its far from done, but we are living in the cabin now, totally off grid, solar electricity, homemade composting toilet..blah blah blah..lol  well anyways here is what we have on the addition so far to the old 1 room original cabin.  we just cut the old back window out and made a doorway to my new cabin addition.  this summer is going to be spent building the rest of the cabin hopefully getting it all done before september 1st!  not sure about flooring yet, just osb plywood for now to get us by.   bless my wife for living in a 1 room cabin with an outhouse and no shower for the last 2 weeks (just bucket baths)   but now we have the shower up and kitchen built.  shower isnt finished but certainly capable of use.

Beautiful new home Ryan.  It must be a good feeling too, knowing you made it with your own two hands.

I could only dream of something like that...

It's coming together very nicely.  Will this be your full time, permanent home for the future?

thanks guys,   yup this is going to be our full time home.  thats the plan.  when this one is done hopefully next summer i will start building the guest cabin...not just a guest room, but a guest house.  i have some good ideas for that one after doing mine.  i hope to do some swap hunts with people in the future and want to have their own little cabin they can come stay in.     
  yeah my wife is a winner. she has put up with a lot but she sure is excited to see her new home coming together
