This is a 17 minute
This is a 17 minute long narrated collection of stop-action, video, and photos of the first two trips out to the east coast to build our (not from a kit) a-frame. The first trip was 11 days in April and the second was 5 days in May. The narration describes the project and some of the construction details.
The total cost for this build (excluding all travel and labour), was about CDN $40k (metal roof $7k, windows and doors $6k, insulation $5k, foundation $3k, lumber and hardware $18k). This got us an open 20’ x 20’ main floor (with 12 feet of 8.5 foot high ceiling and 8 feet of cathedral ceiling), a 12’ x 10’ loft (with a 6 foot high ceiling, just in the middle), a 8’ x 20’ front deck, fully insulated floor and walls and fully vented, steel roof. This also includes interior and exterior spruce siding for all walls and soffits. Keep in mind that the useable square footage is less because of the angled exterior walls.
A-frame design taken from the book Cabins & Cottages published by Fox Chapel Publishing (ISBN 1565239679), available on amazon.ca at:

The main changes I made to their design was to overhang the roof by 2 feet on the back and 4 feet on the front and to add roof venting from under the cabin straight up to the roof peak.
All materials ordered from (and delivered by) local businesses.
Here is a link to my scanned drawings (they were in pretty bad shape by the time I scanned them...):
