And more of the cabin... Part XI

As we are getting closer to the end of the cabin construction I wanted to update again of how far we are now.

Since the last update we have worked on the walls on the main floor. Insulating, drywalling and painting were the first steps before adding the final wall touches that make me giddy when looking at them.


Drywall up and mudded

and our little loft upstairs. Cozy!

And here is what I meant about the giddy-ness. I am actually talking about the walls, although my husband does make me giddy as well. lol. 

Didn't it turn out amazing? 

We are so incredibly happy at how this looks. It is EXACTLY of what I had pictured so long ago.

The next steps will be the window trim and the railing upstairs. The floor will possibly happen next year and this is what I've been thinking about:

What do you think?! ;)

The cabins interior has started; and we've got Power - Part X

We've been hard at work at our cabin again and have started with the interior finishing.

The first thing we did was start getting the ceiling insulated and tongue-and-grooved.

We were able to get this step done before getting an electrician in to do all the wiring.
We put the power from the power pole to the cabin underground. If we wouldn't have done that, we would have had to clear a much wider area of any trees and bushes. That is something we wanted to avoid under any circumstances.

Now back to the inside of the cabin and what we've done so far.
Insulated both gables, got power boxes and switches wired

This past weekend we finished putting tongue and groove boards on the gables and started putting the loft floor down. Unfortunately we didn't get as much delivered as we had ordered, so we'll have to finish it next time. 

but doesn't it look great?

and here is the floor from below.
