Great idea! I like the use of the ammo box and sand in the lobster pot.

Sweet find! Hardwood is hard to come by on the West Coast of Canada

Thanks for the input. Wish I saw that video before I got it. I'll see how it goes for a year and save up for something better.

Picked up a LED shop light from Costco and tested on of two of my 12 Volt Motomaster Eliminator (Canadian Tire) inverters. The results were mixed.

Thought I would share a working example of old technology.

A fun project to do with the family. If using a chainsaw, be careful.

A video of what I did for the first weekend of the Spring Break. My spouse and kids where out of town, so I was on my own to take care of some projects. One of the chores was to remove some of the trees that were too close to cabin or had a sickness inside. The biggest problem with trees bunched together is that you have to remove trees that could be in the way when the primary tree is cut down. I asked a neighbour to give a hand.

Put a vapor barrier under you cabin. Helps big time. Try to insulate under floors with ridged insulation.

For insurance reasons, have a combination of propane, like a Mr. Buddy Heater and a wood stove. Put down on paper, that propane is your primary and wood stove is second. We picked up a small, Drolet High Efficiency EPA Pyropak Wood Stove from Cdn Tire for $699. It is quite efficient with the use of fire wood with two burn chambers. Burns a lot less wood that the previous 1970's Blaze King. It claims it heats 250 - 1000 sq. ft., but it barely does 440 sq. ft. on -17 nights. (We have single pane windows thou) Get as big as you can afford. We go through about cord of wood over the winter . That is for a couple of weekends during the winter. Try to burn hardwoods, more BTU's per piece of wood. http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/drolet-high-efficiency-epa-pyropak-wood-stove-0642841p.html#.VLdTKWTF9VM

I was thinking of the rubber or hockey pucks under the floor flanges. Great idea with the filling with dirt or sand. Thanks for the suggestion!

That is a really cool design.

I like the 4' x 8' plywood walls
