Here is my only criticism. If you are going to put so much into the cabin: electricity, drywall, insulation, loft, deck, etc. Then why not increase the square footage from 12x9 to just a tad more like 14x12. It looks awfully cramped for a family to relax in the size it is now, why not add the square footage if you are going to spend the materials on a cabin like that. The scale of the extra sq. ft. would not be significant. I understand that the cabin is not meant for chilling in all day, but once it is dark you need some room to stretch out and take the boots off. The extra room would provide a possible area for an open seating area. Otherwise I love the cabin and great job.

You're wasting your time with the expanding foam and strips of roofing felt. !
Its N0T easier, (nor proper) to staple up strips of -tar paper- in between the wall stubs; your vapor barrier is essential between the radial sawed siding and the outside surface of the wall studs themselves.
A -Tyvek- whole house wrap would have been even better and much easier than measuring and cutting individual strips.
It's not easier, . you're attempting to mop up on a seriously overlooked judgement mistake made earlier.
Some sheeting under the siding would have been even better.

No need to explain your reasoning on the TV's but I appreciate your point of view. It's great to have entertainment options and besides how ya gonna watch those hockey games, eh! Living off grid doesn't mean living in the stone age.

Hi. Pete here from Scotland. I love the Chanel it-s reduces my stress levels and gives me something to dream about. One day I will build a cabin in the woods and be glad I spent 5 hours in your kind company. Live long my friend.

My husband and I live off grid full time, in Manitoba Canada. It gets dark in the winter around 4pm.
We don't feel like we are missing anything, for us it is a great way to live.

seriously?
Pretty soon you'll have that cabin so buttoned up that you'll have to crack a window open just to get the fire in the woodstove to burn!

If you lean the large pieces of sheeting you can stack your boards underneath it and keep it from getting buried in the snow as much.

Thumbs up from a fellow celiac! For me the first meal cooked on our woodstove on the first fire of the year is always a special moment.
