When I saw the underlayment I wasn't thinking about the obvious need for insulation and assumed that was your roof deck. So that's just vapor barrier for the interior? Is is getting more underlayment directly under the metal roof? Sorry for all the questions, never seen a roof put together quite like that. |

Based off the fireweed had mid September. But the prediction is really more for "winter" than "first snow" if that makes sense. So could still be right. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Requiem: After cabin is built, are you going to build any other buildings? Such as a "carport" (for lack of a better term) to keep snow off snowmobiles, equipment, etc? A wood shed for sure. That’ll be first thing next spring. Will haul the materials out this winter/use left over from the cabin. Then probably just a general purpose shed for storing equipment(generator, chain saws, shovels etc). What I don’t want to turn it into is next summer is never ending projects as well. But it will likely still be a good amount. I can’t even remember the last time I spent a weekend at my house. Taken maybe 3-4 weekends off since Februaryish |

Thats a great idea. There's a part of me that wants to fly to AK and help you out over a weekend - mainly because I want to experience what it's like and say "I helped someone build a cabin in Alaska!
 " but I imagine that'd actually be more of a burden for you than the help. |

But do have some help in the next few weekends. Hopefully wrap up the roof. Would really like it to be done this weekend but not sure if that’s realistic or not. Seems everything takes longer than I think it will. And getting the metal panels on and secured to a steep roof is going to take some doing. Next big thing will be getting the wood stove piping installed. Doing windows in the snow isn’t the biggest deal. Doing roofing would really suck. Can always just put plywood over the future window holes and hold off till next summer on them(there isn’t insulation where they are going to go so would be quite drafty with nothing) |

Much issue sourcing firewood? Not as thick of woods to seem like there's plenty of dead fall around. On the other hand, not many other people fighting for it either.
Do you plan to trap up that way during winter or just kind of a spot to get away to for a quiet weekend and lay low? |

I cleared enough and there’s enough dead standing I shouldn’t have to worry for a little while. All the state land around me allows you to collect dead/down on it. There is also a state wood cutting lot a few miles away I can go get all I want. Do plan on running a trap line. Lots of predators in the area. Plan on doing a bear bait station as well. |

I wouldn't sweat the window insulation too much. Once the roof is on and you get a wood stove running, you'll find that it stays pretty damn cozy.
Put some cheap plastic sheeting over the windows (for light when you're staying there) and just screw some plywood over it (when you're not there) and it'll be fine for the winter. Getting the interior dry and warm will be a huge morale booster, and you'll be happy even if it takes another year to trim the place out. |

I do agree that some blocking is needed but it doesn’t need to be crazy, 2 per slot at most, and since he is using foam board he can stand it vertically between the lengths. |
