Development - Larger Huts
Joe Agana does some work on the roof. The hole he's fiddling with is where the flashing will be attached so the stovepipe has a place to exit the structure. The roof pitch of the cabin is higher than that of a hut, so we had to be extra careful.
The cabin has the same basic manufacturing method as the hut: prefabricate the panels, bring them to the site, and assembled them there. On the wall, the size difference mainly meant inconvenience; but for the roof, floor, and loft, it meant a redesign. The roof can no longer be made from single sheets of plywood, and so became panels in their own right - much heavier and more unwieldy. Similarly, the floor was pretty much impossible to transport by itself, and so was cleverly designed to be transported in two pieces and reassembled with additional bracing.
