Well done, Dave. Beautiful Auroras !

It's not just Norway, per http://spaceweather.com/

I like yours better ~ thank you for the share.

Oops. The cabin is all the rave!

Just a quick note to say thanks.

I truly appreciate your sharing and just wanted you to know - all year round i check the site, but when i see you have a new post, it is the first click everytime. Maybe it is a dream for me, maybe even a dream i will never be able to attain...........but, to be able to follow you and your build is just fantastic.

Much (very much) appreciated.

Thanks.

I love the northern lights photos as we seldom get to see them down here. the wife has never seen them. On night of seeing them remains stuck in my memory as they went all the way to the top and then to the south a little.

Looks great Pal. What are you going to put on the bottom of the walls below the siding?

Awesome Dave, great pics and I love the cedar.

Awesome Dave, great pics and I love the cedar.

It's going to be stained for now and when the rest of the cabin is finished I will do river rock veneer down there.

Awesome job

Once again I say thank you for updating all of us on your cabin build. The cedar looks great also thank you

for the Northern Lights photos on my bucket list to one day get to see them in person . You will have to shoot a video giving us all a tour once the build is completed. Keep up the good work.

Got some fascia installed and some more soffit.

Also got back to the siding and some cedar installation on the cabin front.
I think it's looking awesome.

wallyworld · « **Reply #523 on:** Sep 17, 2017, 07:34 PM »

Awesome is an understatement

Dave, what type of siding are you using? You may have mentioned it, but then I missed it. It's really looking good!!!

Beat me to the punch, Wally. lol

I've come to use caution when viewing "The Cabin".

A bib is a must when muchin on chocolate due to drooling.

Very enviable, Dave.

OldSailor · « **Reply #527 on:** Sep 17, 2017, 08:20 PM »

That siding should last until the next 'ice age'!!!!

Coming along nicely! Always appreciate the updates and pictures. Northern Lights

OldSailor · « **Reply #531 on:** Sep 18, 2017, 08:22 AM »

Dave, how long do you figure it will take you to complete the build, approximately?? Just looking for a ball park figure. I'm just curious how much longer we'll get to enjoy your build!!

I can't wait for the "cabin warming party". It is really coming along now. Thanks for sharing...h2l

Depends on $$$ OS.
3-5 years maybe. ^_^
You got lots of updates coming for a while yet.
I don't retire until 2027. It needs to be finished by then so I can move in.

Drifter_016 · « **Reply #534 on:** Sep 18, 2017, 07:08 PM »

Rum in me cup
A bunch of BBQ'd meat on me plate
Watching my Leafs play there first pre-season game in my cabin in the wilderness............ ....PRICELESS!!!

That shouldn't be a problem barring large setbacks!! You aren't able to work on the cabin during the winter yet, are you?

Not yet.
Hoping to do insulation and stove next year.

Your cabin is coming along nicely Dave.

Drifter_016 · « **Reply #538 on:** Sep 19, 2017, 06:28 PM »

Got some more siding installed over the last couple of days.
A little on the North wall.

And a little on the South wall.

Off to town for supplies in the AM tomorrow.
