Landston that looks a lot like the hooches we used to stay in at Copper
Creek in Hells Canyon on the Snake River for the Riddle of Steel training camps.
Here's a pic of my camp. It's the same camp you saw in another tread but a different angle.
I was thinking of starting a simular thread my self!

Heres my getaway. Great place to go when ice storms knock out the power. I have 4 batteries and two propane tanks.

my city has it own power company owned by the city..and all power lines have been put underground and all substations cover each other in overlapping pattern so you have minimal outages for very short time...i love where i live
 
Here's my portable building. I can haul it pretty far back over moderate to difficult 4wd roads.

Randy, that little cabin is fantastic! Could you post more photos, perhaps showing the interior? I'm a hopeless log cabin junkie and I have to get my fixes where I can until I finally can build my own!

Thanks!

here's a couple, i wish i knew how to shrink them down a little. i took a notion a couple octobers ago and squared up a spot back in the woods. put in some piers and started cutting balsam. skinned them and started laying up the walls green. i built it through out that winter, it was so cold at times the bark was frozen to the log. i let it sit one summer to dry and settle. during that time i worked on the roof and floor framing. most the logs were pulled out with a atv. i finished the logs with a lime mortor chinking and a linseed oil/turpentine finish. i'm not done yet. i have a wood stove to install, final flooring and a little stair to the loft.

nice cabin man!!
I have been in love with log building for years. Hope to start a small cabin this winter while I have a few hours a week with the kids at school. Would really like to do scribe fit but not sure I am up to it?
may have to do piece on piece instead...
here's a non electric shop building I put together, thats across from the shelter in the other pic. Part of it is built piece on piece.
be safe... Ted
 
That cabin Randytee is a dream of mine. You are one fortunate man to have done that. Love it man. I just have a fithwheel camper myself. It does all I need and my wife likes it. I did build me a small 10x10 shed that I was going to use as a cabin but now its used as a storage shed and the I bought another for the use of a Cabin but now my daughter claims it as a play house. So Im giving up and will be happy with a camper.
 
randytee, mind shareing you lime mortor recipe with me? I need to tighten up some gaps and cracks in my shelter for the winter, and that chinking looks like it could work.
thank!

i used 3 parts sand, 1 part portland cement, and 1/2 part masonry lime. i mixed it together before adding water. mixed water slowly until it was a stiff paste. i made a rig out of a 12"x12" board with a handle in the center on the under side. i then took a small pointed trowel and cut the sides off so the trowel ended up roughly a 1 1/2" wide. i put a shovel full of mud on the board and held the board up against the wall and with the trowel mudded the mix into the crack. for support i used expanded metal cut into strips and nailed into the crack.
