Beautiful cabin, Zep. Nice appointments and attention to detail. Congrats on its completion. I have sort of a hobby of designing and sketching small dwellings, and I've built a couple of small cabins. I always try to make reasonable use of every last square inch of floor space, yet maintain roominess throughout. I really like the kitchen layout in your cabin, for it exemplifies efficient use of space. You have a fully functional and sufficiently spacious kitchen, yet it only consumes what appears to be about 30sq ft. of floor space............... Well done!

Mark, The first night will always be special.
My guess is that George and your brother hoisted one while looking down with smiles on their faces.
If I ever try to finish my book, I would like to borrow the guest cabin and soak in some of the inspiration.
You have not just finished, you did in fact knock it out of the park. What a gift. What a great place.

Zep, that is nothing short of amazing! Maybe someday my place will get remotely close to that, that would be plenty good for me. Your brother has a big smile on his face!!

Thanks guys...I feel very blessed. Cisco come for a visit next time you are in this neck of the woods. Hard to believe a year ago this week was Pond Conference 2015. I really like the kitchen layout in your cabin, for it exemplifies efficient use of space. You have a fully functional and sufficiently spacious kitchen, yet it only consumes what appears to be about 30sq ft. of floor space....Well done! Thanks gully washer...that's my brother's design work. The only credit I can take is the counter-top, back-splash, and small mural. I have since added some antique glass and a light to the cabinet above the microwave for a nice back-lit liquor cabinet. LiquorCabinetAddedAboveMicrowave ps: Btw...here is another cabin my brother built in Colorado years ago. He just had log cabin building in his blood. http://lakecitycoloradorealestate.com/photos.php?property_ID=153865

Zep, amazing work by you and your brother! Wish that I had met your brother. Just love seeing a craftsman at work. Suspect that you may be underrating your work as well. Thank you for sharing with your vision with all of us.
It's another day in paradise

Dang, your brother's Colorado cabin is off the hook! What a challenge it must have been to build, especially in that location. The suspension bridge alone is a tremendous accomplishment, let alone that masterpiece of a cabin. What a beautiful setting! I think that I would actually be afraid to stay there...... because I would never want to leave. lol

And the owner says "be sure and catch all the waste"

Looked like Spring yesterday at the cabin: Smokey the Bear Been having a bee problem inside cabin (actually wasps & mud daubers) Rented this Genie Lift yesterday...worked great. Best $85 I ever spent. Bees, wasps, mud daubers are now sealed outside where they should "be" Hunting bee illegal entry points on the Lift the lift ruined the bees day
