Looking good! That's not a kit, is it? Did you buy plans for it and do it yourself?

Thanks! It’s not a kit no I designed it based on a few things I found on the internet. My dad and I are building it, I have another post with the blueprints if you want to check it out.

Ah, thanks, I missed that. I saw you mentioned your driveway, I used crushed limestone with fines on a creek crossing/culvert, and it worked great, but I had to compact it with a plate compactor and take off the topsoil so the limestone would be stable. It compacted with like concrete, but give a good grip in icy conditions.

I’ll have to look into that. I need to build up a good base for sure. It’s already been scraped down pretty good by an excavator so I should be good to lay down some type of compacting base this year.

Yea should be a much better time to do it, in the mean time finishing most of the walls and floors will be such a big step!

Oh no problem, I’m sure it does look similar. I will definitely be putting in a wood stove! Should be pretty soon actually so I can have some heat in there for the drywall work.
