One Man Cabin Build Thread

Gotta let those trick or treaters know you got candy!!

 

Don't have to worry about that out here!

 

I'd still make sure you have a bag. Even if you have to end up eating it.

 

Sub'd

 

Got another wall completed tonight with the cedar boards.

 

Finally getting around to getting some spare time to work on cabin again.

Septic system is next. Good thing only the top 6" of the ground is frozen...

3" drain coming from cabin:DIY Septic Tank:Leach field trench:

 

Is that a 2 chamber tank ? and will you be able to pump it ?

 

Way late for this question, but definitely true. Keep them apart.

 

Fucking epic!

 

I put a dividing wall inside the middle thus making it a two chamber tank. Going to bring a pipe down into the top to allow for pumping.

 

I kept at least 12" between them. Thanks!

 

I was replying as I was reading though. Well done bro. My wife and I purchased land and are looking to build next year, I've enjoyed viewing your progress!

 

Two Words..... AWESOME!

 

I know some bush rats in Northern BC, close to Juneau AK, that used a chainsaw mill to cut cabin boards from cottonwood trees. Some of them almost the size of a sheet of plywood. They worked out fine but needed lots of drying time and shrinkage was considerable due to water content.

 

Just saw this thread going to take awhile to catch up

 

You want to avoid solids getting into the leaching field

 

nice Build sir keep it up Smells amazing from here

 

I built a similar cabin about 10 years ago but no sawmill involved. BTW OP did an awesome job with the mill. Mine was 16x20 with half loft too. 12 foot outside wall and 5 ft loft wall, balloon framing.

 

This is sweet..

 

Conduit laid and wire run for cistern pump.

Backfilled the cistern in:
