Sheds, cabins etc.

Some very nice and sometimes bleak locations I see, I'd like that for a month or so,
But getting away from it all means lots of work. logging etc.

I lived all weeks between weekends in a cabin in the woods for roundabout a year. I worked too far away to commute and that was the cheapest lodging I could find. Had snow on the floor all winter and so on. There were two lightbulbs and electrical heating enough to maintain temperatures above freezing at bed height. Used wood in a stove to bring the temperature up to 10 or 12 degrees at bedtime. Cooked on the woodstove.
Getting up and going to work outdoors in -20 after a night in just above freezing wasn't fun.

During that period I found out that most cabins are designet by city people according to their romantic idea of what a cabin should look like. Not to actually live in during winter.

nice to have a weekend retreat like those, views like that would be brilliant, except you wouldn't get any work done if it was your workshop.
