Then there is a small pine shelf with pegs under to hang up stuff that goes around the entire cabin. Then, you are right, it has corrugated metal roofing like you would put on a chicken coop. The ceiling is tongue and grove knotty pine. The beams are un-peeled pine logs. The floor and the loft floor is thick tongue and grove flooring that I suspect the builder of the cabin salvaged from old box cars. I didn't build it, but I guess it to be just a regular framed cabin, finished on the outside with cedar shakes. The woman that I bought it from, built it with her brother some place else and then, I think, took it apart and then moved it here. I think the idea behind the corrugated roofing is that it reflects candle light and sunlight better and because it looks sort of rustic and cool. -crow Hey Horny Toad,

It appears you have galvanized corrigated roofing in the walls (upper part shows). I have never seen that before. Would you describe the construction of the house?

Did you see the Aura borealis? I didn't. Hey Carolyn,

(I couldn't find one). That looks like something I'd like around my cabin. Thanks! Carolyn H. Crow,
