Thanksgiving Week Tiny Cabin Build - cont'd

All four walls got erected on our tiny cabin on Tuesday.  Elizabeth deserves most of the credit as she painstakingly laid out and measured everything 3X before I made cuts to ensure square and level joinery of the wall studs.  We chose to use purchased dimensional lumber for this project instead of milling our own from the trees on the property due to the time constraints we are faced with.  As we learned from constructing a woodshed working with logs is tedious and requires a lot of time to prep the logs which involves peeling the bark, notching the joints plus you need extra labor to lift and place for fastening.  With "2-by" lumber it is basically precision build ready with little effort required to keep things straight and level.  Next step is to install rafters and metal roof.  We ordered the doors and windows which will arrive in late December.  We'll start cutting down the trees this winter where the house will be situated but right now the wall tent is in the way.  After the cabin is done we'll take it down and move into the cabin for weekend stays.
