Well this week I have learned a lot (which I am sure is never enough) about rafters. We have decided on a 8/12 roof with gable ends (thanks to easy rafters
). I ended getting 42 4x4 OSB sheets and 50 2x4x8 for $120 (reclaimed from a wedding dance floor).... should be enough wood to finish the project I hope.
Oct 24th I was able to get started on cutting rafters, spacers for the walls and floor, and loft support. Tomorrow (weather permitting) we hope to get up to the cabin and get the roof on, as well as clean up a few other things that need to be done. I hope to have pictures for you all soon of that progress...
Total $ to date - $178.85
Well the other things took up more time than expected. We did get a lot of the wood delivered up to the property that we need to get it closed in before the snow flies:
Truck loaded up:
We put spacers in the floor and walls as you can see here:
We started to put the loft in, but we soon decided that we should get the walls sheathed in. We ran out of time for that, but here is where the "cabin" stands as we left it..
