You think you can't afford a cabin.

I have 2 alcoves in the basement I would love to use pallet slats on. Lot of work to do that though

Sawz all with a 12" blade makes light of that work. just cut between the slats and the supports. Never use a crow bar.

Father son project.

Did you notice they did every bit of this project without even speaking. Talking is way overrated.

I've been thinking about moving to a 3/4 ton truck. A few of them biguns at the Canton Walmart bowed out the sideboards on my 1/2 ton last time.

To each his own, don’t think I have the patience for that project

My brother built his one bedroom, 900 sq ft cabin using huge shipping crate pine boards probably 30 yrs ago.
Flooring, siding, and roof instead of using plywood/OSB.
Used conventional lumber to build the stick frame.
Still good as new...

First wife worked at McDonell Douglas in South Bibb Co way back when. They had a whole fenced in lot of packing crates. So me and my stepfather used to get all kinds of good reusable wood from there.
I would do a project like this if I had somewhere to put it. But I think I would go about twice as wide.

I know they were all about time together and the outdoors, will even admit to having straightened out a nail in the past, but I'd gladly drop $20 on a box or two of nails.

Foreal'dough... nails ain't that much.

And they can hold up to a thorough pounding. Seriously ONCE you get them started they're like diesel tractors. They keep on going and work the **** out of you.

I saw so much wrong in their materials process.

The water wont run off of the sloped roof with the ribs sideways.
No boot on the stove pipe, roof will leak.
No vapor barrier under floor , used non treated wood for floor.

It’s obvious their materials were limited and they just threw it up as fast as possible but that thing won’t last long nor will it be without issues for a cozy, long term cabin.
