>>289368The first weekend of construction I brought up enough lumber for the foundation and the subfloor, along with the wall frames. Not all construction methods are perfect, this was my first time and I was young..
>Sunk 4x4s and built foundation, added OSB subfloor. Now had a platform to build.>Felled a small balsam fir that was in the way of wall.>No electricity, so I constructed each wall frame by my family cabin about 800 yards away and took it back by four wheeler and trailer>Assembled the 2x4 wall frames, ending the first weekend of construction.>Next weekend up, brought cousin and assembled handmade rafters, which somehow turned out perfectly. We hoisted them and had a frame for the roof. Secured the plywood roof and added tarpaper for the time being.>Eventually build loft while the frame was still exposed for structural purposesSpent many more weekends getting the framing done, and eventually sealed the walls with tarpaper before siding with the cedar boards.
>Many hours prying nails out of the fence panels, trying to not crack the cedar boards>Eventually got the siding done and built a door out of pine 1x4's, stained them, and framed it.Helping my Grandma clean out her garage attic, I found a bundle of cedar shingles which she gave me, which are now the front siding, as you can see in this pic (Still can't see the weathered cedar fence boards).
construction will be cont...
