What is near the cabin, timber, lakes, what type road to it? Fish, and game? Wildlife you to look at? Nearest town?

This won't be a year round place, mainly deer season. It's basically a glorified deer blind.
I put a 200 amp panel in my house when I built in 2005. It is full, I am fully aware of the need in certain circumstances but this cabin isn't one of them.

It sits on 40 acres right of a gravel road.

Who knows, it might wind up being an expanded retirement home. It would be something I would consider.

It doesn't look big now, but wait until the grandkids start coming for visits. How about resale to someone who wants to add on? That cabin would be easy to expand. For another $50 to 100, a major part of the addition is already in place. I hear what you are saying but that is counter to what its purpose is. It is literally 6 minutes from our home. As far as resale, that will be someone else's problem.

Don't let a bunch of old rednecks tell you how to enjoy your place.

The only difference in a 100 and a 200 amp panel is the main breaker. Generally the higher the amperage of the main breaker the more circuits will be available on the buss bars. Just cause you got them doesn't mean you have to use them. ...and possibly the size of the wire from the meter base to the panel.

No, just stud walls, hence the wiring.

What code am I violating?
None that I am aware of. You are just paying for a 200 amp service and only utilizing 50%. I know, it was a rhetorical question. I am not sure why Sitka would chime in about me not knowing what I am doing when he doesn't know what he is talking about..

Nice place. Did you cut the siding yourself?

Nice place. Did you cut the siding yourself? I have a sawyer with a portable mill that has done all of my sawing. We built a three point mount for a 9000# Ramsey PTO winch that we use to skid logs out. Once I have what I need I call up the sawyer and we spend the day milling logs. Joists, studs, beam, sub-floor, front porch, siding and all of the tongue and groove for the inside came from the property. Flooring will be ash that came from behind our primary residence.

I was wondering about that as well. Started out by clearing the lot. Rented an excavator for a weekend and dug the hole. Formed and poured the footings. My neighbor laid the block.
