We Are Back!!!

We are back and taking on new projects through the 2018 season.  Contact us today about building your new recreational cabin!

Here's a video my wife made several years ago of a cabin we built near Monarch, MT.  Its just minutes away from the ShowDown Ski Area.  Definitely an old favorite of ours!

Starting on the Smith

Welcome to the Smith River project here in Montana.
For those of you have never been to the scenic Smith River area this should be a treat.  It certainly is my good luck to be able to build in such an extraordinary land.
I will be building a version of my "Prairie Mountain Cabin".   This cabin is a little bigger than the "Montanan" which I showcased in my previous project.  It's basic layout is the same but I will be adding a few extras such as french doors, windows and decks to highlight the magnificent views provided by this location.
We have already started on our foundation.  This will be a insulated post and beam foundation well suited for this location.





Here are a few photos of the start.

A Few Final Photos

I wanted to end this project with a few shots of the furniture.  I like to supply a few pieces just to get things started.  Then its up to the new owner to get as creative as they like.
For a little additional charge you can have your cabin completely furnished and just move on in!

Thanks to all of you who have followed this project throughout its completion and I welcome you to  take a look at my newest project already started on the Smith River.

Ready To Move In

Well our cabin is nearly complete.
In the last few weeks we have installed the door and windows, and finished off the interior.
We have a new kitchen and bath, complete with new appliances and fixtures.  The interior walls have been covered with blue stained pine and varnished to match the wall logs.  All that's left is to build a rock base and install the wood burning stove.  We will be doing a little finish landscaping to give the place a little more inviting feel.  Finally we will furnish the cabin with a few nice starter pieces of log furniture.
Here are a few photos of what the cabin and site look like today.   Hopefully you see a marked improvement from where we started and that we have created a cabin someone will be able to enjoy for many years to come.

Taking Shape

Here is the cabin taking its final shape.
We finished putting up all of our main support beams, finished our loft, and made the final gable cuts.
Next we set our front porch posts and rails and porch support beam.  All hand peeled from the property.
Then we began putting up our roof decking one section at a time. The roof decking is 2x6 tongue and groove pine.
.






Once decked you get the full picture of what the cabin will eventually become.
