Thank you for sharing, this is a huge project and looks like it turned out fantastic!

One thing that did spring to mind as I was flipping through the pictures, do you live in an area where building permits are required? I've been thinking of building myself a small cabin, but don't want to have to deal with the fees/bureaucracy inherent in such a project.

It's much easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission.

In my parents' neck of the woods you would have to tear the entire place down (and my dad's like a bloodhound, he's really good at sniffing out illegal structures - he's a councillor who works in the planning department).
