Short days caused by high humidity and afternoon thunderstorms slow me down but I was able to finish framing the roof which prepares me to start drying in the cabin this week, well before winter starts. I remove the last of the steel cables from the trees, relieved that I am finished hoisting heavy logs into place.

From the first tree cut to the top of the log cabin walls. I like to be organized and plan things in advance, but this cabin build was so organic that I couldn't plan ahead, instead changing directions repeatedly. Looking back at the year on video, I remember every minute of the build and the challenges I had to overcome each and every day. Several times, I had no idea where I would find the materials, the tools or the time, but the answer was always there somewhere. | My Self Reliance

I install the top course of logs on two sides of the off grid log cabin, including the heaviest logs yet, and then move the woodstove to the final location in the cabin where it will not be in the way as I finish the last two walls. It was a harsh February, with temperatures well below average, above average snowfall and once a week, high temperatures with rain and freezing rain followed by flash freezes.

A few friends hanging out at the greenhouse. The first two are a year and two years old and visited this week. The last is the mature bull that visited in June. I’ll be setting up more cameras in different spots to see what he looks like now. | My Self Reliance

I'm finishing the root cellar one section at at time - this week I install a floor in the breezeway section, move the freezer back into place and set up a metal rack to store mason jars full of preserved and dried food. On the new wood cookstove, I make moose and lasagna sandwiches with fresh homemade sourdough bread.
