My wife, brother, father and I spent this past weekend finishing the interior of our cabin in western Wyo. We used prefinished 6" knotty pine T&G boards. Went up faster than I thought but it was two solid days of work, much on scaffolding to get it done. Also got a ceiling fan wired in. This will really help bring some of the heat down in the fall and winter. I think it turned out great. A few before and after pics.

All that is left now is to case and trim the windows, install flooring and put river rock behind the stove.
 
Great job! Your family will enjoy that cabin for many years to come. Your wife will love the idea of not having to rough it while camping out. She will pay you back with many good cooked meals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's beautiful!

"went up fast" & "2 full days of work" You are NOT supposed to use those phrases in the same sentence! LOL

I think that great work with a quality product will last for decades and just look even better with age.

Nice job MC.

zigger is a great example of a low life pos, that doesn't deserve any help. There are many things that would be nice to wish for or say but then I would be just like him.

I see you have some furniture moved in. That's the way I did my house when we built 40 years ago. I'm still working on trim and baseboard 40 years later.:)

It looks great! You're really doing things right!

Bess, do you like those elk heads because they are not the pisscutters you shoot?

The 6 point is the first bull I ever shot. Took him about 3 miles from the place. I never have liked the looks of the mount too much. The 5 point is the first animal I ever tried to taxi myself. Not horrible but I lack any artistic touch needed to make it look good. I took him in the same place as the 6 point.
 
That is a fine looking cabin.
How long did it take to put in up to weather tight.

We hired a contactor, Slyter Construction out of Pinedale for the foundation shell and roof. It took him a couple months. They did a great job. The place is absolutely plumb, level and square. We have done the rest ourselves a little at a time. That summer we put up house wrap. The next summer we got most of the log siding done, the electrical and plumbing rough in. The next summer we did the kitchen, bath, finished plumbing and insulation. This summer was interior work. Next summer will be flooring. It helps to spread out the costs over time.
 
Very nice! We have been talking about building one. Would you mind saying how much time and money you invested? Also, what is the footage and where did you get the plans?
