Old-Fashioned Cabin Raising

higgscabin2Last summer, 11 people and 6 dogs made the trek up the mountain to assemble this mountain cabin.  Kymberly’s Dad designed the building from scratch, and he pre-built as much as possible (floor, stud walls, dormers) back in Kansas. With lots of hard work by everyone, in a little over a week we had an air-tight, solid structure on our property.  The following is a 2-minute timelapse video of the project.  One photo was taken every 5 minutes for 9 days. This summer it’s time to finish the interior.
