5. The view down the other side of the cabin. The larger windows are in the bedrooms
6. Our wood shed, firepit, and the neighbour's cabin  Our property extends right to the edge of their stairs. Fun fact: My dad works on power lines for the government, and he made those benches around the fire pit out of old power poles

This is going to be so nice!! It's even better because it's a family project.
What does " the pony wall" mean?

Of course, being at the lake, a basement can't be built because of the high water table. So we built a foundation on top of the ground and a 4 foot high wall on top of that for the house to sit on. This is the pony wall.
HOPEFULLY it should stay dry under there. We have inside access to the crawlspace, and my dad wanted it to be 4 feet so it's easier to get down and do things under there. We will be putting in a furnace as soon as there are gas lines hooked up out there, so we needed room for that too As of now, there is electric heat, plus the wood stove. We will be able to comfortably spend Christmas out there now! We can spend all day out on the ski-doo, or out ice fishing, or skating, and then have a nice warm cabin to come back to!

Lindsey, that's going to make a really nice cabin!! I agree with Judy that it will mean so much more to you because you're all chipping in and making it your own! How fun!!!

What fun!! I love doing carpentry and remodeling projects. To do it as a family would be so much fun.
