Day 2

Foundation

It was apparent that this project needed the help of another, my brother Max.  In exchange for a free flight to beautiful North Carolina, a priceless life experience, and a wash of delicious foods and beers he agreed to help out.  Since the biggest thing I personally ever built was the small metal shed in the picture, it would be quite an undertaking to do this cabin alone.  His being there not only made things enjoyable, but vastly more efficient.  Also equally we could be a pain in each other's ass at times, but reconciliation was quick at hand.  Brotherly love, some say, is the sweetest kind. 

For the foundation we used half reclaimed cement blocks from a demolition site, and half from good old Lowe's.  The 4x4 treated runners were implemented to strengthen the floor.  This also gives us the option to move the building if ever we decide.
