September 2008: The foundation is laid and the floor constructed
Due to the
presence of permafrost and strong annual temperature fluctuations, the
cabin will be built on movable posts to compensate for uplift and
lowering of the ground. A gravel bedding ensures good drainage and less
problems with the annual melting and freezing of the ground. More
effort at the beginning can save lots of hassle and costs later on!
Finally, before the onset of winter, the floor is constructed in order
to get a speedy start on construction next spring.
