I bet you guys are so glad you have your nice warm cabin. I have to ask though what temperature do you keep it on the inside? Given it's -51 outside can you easily get it to 60 - 70 degrees inside, or is that to warm for you? I'm asking because I know here it's hard for us to keep our house at 70 when it's in the 20s, and that's only a 50 degree difference not a 100+ difference. Of course here is not typically ever in the 20s, and I'm sure your cabin is way better insulated than our house. Our house was built for wind/hurricanes not extreme cold. <br /><br />Stay warm, and happy new year!!!!<br /><br /><br />MJMarybethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14172935707623485920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433191378230739758.post-73873470673981311692012-01-01T10:51:36.271-09:002012-01-01T10:51:36.271-09:00Happy New Year to you both.

The upstairs is an open loft with the bed, some built-ins along the sloped walls, and the battery bank/inverter & 200 gallon water storage tank in a utility closet.Plickety Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02252583762292412093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433191378230739758.post-52525712551786135712011-12-15T10:13:30.685-09:002011-12-15T10:13:30.685-09:00Nice to see all is well :) I was just looking the...Nice to see all is well :) I was just looking the other day to see if you had been on. Looks like y'all have been hard at work for 2 mo.<br /><br />I was going through some old posts and came upon the tent floor plan (don't know how I missed that one!. I was wondering if you would like to share a "drawing" of your cabin's floor plan. :)<br /><br />Still stuck in humid 70* Dec TX!Velma Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06014658450545784079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433191378230739758.post-61154241665257219932011-12-13T15:47:18.036-09:002011-12-13T15:47:18.036-09:00Super good to hear from you and that all is well. ...Super good to hear from you and that all is well. You have worked so hard to get this far and in adverse conditions--you deserve a break. I've noticed that I have colder here in NW Texas than you have been at times! Has been bitter cold here with strong winds.<br /><br />Blessings to you both...Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.CottonLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253761109385226538noreply@blogger.com
