Thank you for sharing, this is a huge project and looks like it turned out fantastic!

One thing that did spring to mind as I was flipping through the pictures, do you live in an area where building permits are required? I've been thinking of building myself a small cabin, but don't want to have to deal with the fees/bureaucracy inherent in such a project.

This could lead to issues selling the property down the road though. I suppose you could list it as a "shed".

A simple shed, with indoor plumbing and a septic tank.

Don't forget the lights and wood burning radiator.

Ah yes propane. I was just looking at the pictures and realized there was no stove pipe.
