One Man Cabin Build Thread

Finally got some spare time.
Bath lavatory lines:


Bought big cans of primer and CPVC cement - brushes are too dang big to fit inside 1/2" and 3/4" pipes. Makes it kinda messy.

 

Thanks for the link and the info. I'm looking to spend $500-750 on the stove. Might go used route if I can find one local enough.

I'm definitely leaning towards Type 1 routing from your pic. You'll get a lot more radiant heat from the black pipe inside cabin.

 

Shower tees cut in:

Had to cut out a stud that warped pretty bad. The one on the left is the warped one (obviously). Took the sawzall and cut it out and nailed the new one in.

 

How's it coming along?

 

Slowly but surely....haven't had much spare time in the last 3 weeks.

Landed Cable and Network:


3/4" Supply lines on left to below floor, 1" incoming water in center and 1/2" shower and lavatory lines coming back up on right:


3/4" supply lines below floor with 1/2" bottom taps for washer:

 

Washer Standpipe & AAV:

 

Looking good man!

 

Bought pre-cut lengths of cable and over estimated the distances.

 

LP Gas Piping 99% complete:


Only need a 5" long 3/4" nipple to go through exterior wall to finish it up.

 

This is inspiring - well done man!

...and just for laughs, I hope to god you have seen this well-documented train-wreck of a DIY Building project: http://imgur.com/a/yPZEA

Don't know how I missed this......sub'd

Awesome job

 

I'm no construction guru (don't understand a LOT of the conversation on here) but I did have one question.

The floor of the loft (together with the ceiling of the first floor) will tie the walls together since there won't be joists on that. How will that work on the open space where the loft doesn't extend? Will the walls away from the floor try to lean out?

LOVE the build thread and pics. THANKS a LOT for sharing this with us.

Extension ladder is a bit short - I'll be fine as long as OSHA doesn't stop by...

 

Foam insulation day!!

 

This thread is so full of Badassery!

 

Finishing off gables while foam guys work inside:

 

2Lb foam ?

 

Not sure.. 1" thick in walls and 4" thick in ceiling. Tomorrow the next crew comes to do the cellulose blow in to fill remaining cavity.
