I'm seeing the pics again now, the PB fix must take a while to work? Anyhow, here's some pics of my work in progress. On a mission now to get it done so I can build my son a log fort next spring:

The front of the cabin, built in 1936 by the CCC from tamarack logs.

The deck we added on the back where you can relax and listen to the sound of Armstrong creek flowing nearby.

Does not have to cost a lot. When a friend of mine updated his camp with an actual cabin, I bought his old trailer for $300. (he had to replace some tires; included in price). I've had it for about ten years now. Pretty sure I got all my money out of it.

Nothing to look at, It was broken into once, so I don't keep anything of value in it now.

But it keeps us dry and warm... well when it gets below zero, it is a full time job keeping the wood stove going.

Now, three generations having fun at the old shack.

Nothing wrong with that!

Most of my materials were free or very cheap, even had the shingles in an old pump shed near the ponds. Wood stove was a gift from a friend that worked in a scrap yard, studs and rafters are really the only lumber I had to buy. I sleep in an old camper for now until the inside is done, then I'll give that to the kiddos or let guests use it.

Next project after that is a wood shed, then a screened pavilion on the river with a chiminea for warmth and burning meats. "Always another project", as my late Grandpa used to say.
