Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Structures you’ve built

Shop wood shed complex I found the steps pre bilt at the dumpster👍

I've posted these before, this was my last big project after Hurricane Sally. 400' of pier, boathouse, lift, decks, swim platforms, etc. I'll see if I can dig up a few pics of the 40' x 60' man cave deluxe I built before the boathouse.

Beautiful! What kind of wood is that?

Beyond hunting shacks this is the most ambitious building I've ever.
It was to be a hunting cabin/storage bldg on a new piece of property we had purchased waaaay back in the 90's.
The wife kept riding me to go ahead and put the house we were living in at the time on the market, i finally gave in but only at what I felt was a price where it most likely wouldn't sell at.
it went under contract in under 2 months and our 'getaway cabin' became emergency storage for toys, lawn mowers etc

Lotsa nice work here , Slumlord, Huntsman excellent workmanship.

My wife, and I have rebuilt three houses.

I haven't done much but I did build my own house of short logs and timbers. I dug the basement. I mixed, poured, and finished the concrete. I put up the whole structure by myself and lifted every log into place. I did the flooring, and I did the roofing. I did the wiring and the plumbing. I built the septic system. I did not drill the well. If I did it again, I could do better, but I'm not even thinking of trying. GD

I built this for a stand I’m gonna hunt with grandson out of. My other platforms are 15 feet tall. This is safer for him. Does this count?






Gonna put this stand I built on it

All redwood

Open house day in Wabigoon.

Dang Miguel - that looks like a peaceful place.

Except for a couple of garages, I have not built any complete structures and certainly not a complete home. But, over the years have designed and built additions going all the way back to 72. Have posted some of these elsewhere so pardon duplication - here are some adds done to our recent home up in the national forest.

The vista room - aspen and rock features.




The big shop and man cave




The grandkids' bunk room and beds/cabinets - with lighted cloud ceiling

Just after we moved into our "new" place.

Ripped off old deck & built new one + new insulation, siding & had standing seam metal roof installed.













Locally milled cedar, for the "board & batton" work.

Ontario, huh? What do you use on mosquitos up there? I heard that the 12 gauge with #6 shot works well.

You mean like duck blinds and stuff?

Yeah, but you only have to worry about them, for 6 months !

Over the last 30+ years I built my 900 ft/2 shop, a timber frame gambrel roof barn, big woodshed/shop, a new wellhouse, my actual HOUSE house, and so on. Basically I built everything on my land. Most recent project was a carport type roof last winter to park my boat under, off the side of my shop. I love building stuff.

Paul,
All good as long as you don't put those propane tanks back.....Cali codes ya know!
