The good thing about going inside your cabin is that from there you can't see the outside of the cabin.
 I've lived in worse. |

... Building your own cabin is way cool. I'm starting on my third in my lifetime - this one I will retire in.
... As for the color; I've considered doing a camouflage scheme on mine. Would take photos of the surrounding area, over several different times of year at several times during the day then "mix up" the colors using PhotoShop© or the like for an "average" color and paint it that. |

Great job on the getaway, although you wouldn't make it as a builder in the real world where a 3500 sq ft. house is ready to be occupied in six weeks. Most here wish they had something like you have, myself included.

Great job. The color is acceptable, I always aim for something acceptable since in my opinion the job of paint is to either seal what you are painting, cover stains from the last party, make the lady happy, or just get the can empty so you can have a paint can to roll around the yard using your shotgun and slugs.
Small it may be, but paid for means so much more. And it is easy to extend and expand from there. Heck, in a decade you might build a bigger cabin and then you can have a guest cabin for those who annoy you more than others when they visit. And looking at your pics, the quad and guns and what not, I am happy to see you consider the cabin to be more for sleeping while the outdoors is for awake time. |

You need a fireplace... I would gone a bit bigger for an indoor eating area in case the weather got nasty, but that looks very nice dude !

If you were to go with an outswing door, you can get a Larson roll up screen door for around $150.00 and mount it on the inside.
as for the color... it looks like a nice neutral color. not too dark for the summer heat and not too light for the cold winters. I would agree with everyone that insulation is important, but then you would also have to finish off the inside, so you arn't getting fiberglass all over you while you sleep. if you were to do that, I would suggest 1/8" standard hardboard (masonite) for your interior walls. It might be a nice addition to the front porch to build a mount or table for a portable grill under cover so you can cook in the rain, and not trip over it. It looks great, and I am very jealous. |
