Here's the weather forecast for the next 10 days in Tennessee. I guess we're going to freeze to death. But we will see snow! Though probably not enough for sledding.
I've ordered the lumber and it will be delivered Monday morning. The total came out at $938. The cost of lumber has gone up almost 12%. The Tennessee sales tax of 10% kills you also.
I'd like to get the frame for the roof finished in the next 10 days, so that all I've got to do on a future trip is put up sheathing and metal. But it's rather a farfetched goal, considering how slow I work alone, and the span's 36 feet.
Next year by this time I'll have a stove in the cabin.

You need a propane heater like this one! They work great. When I lived at the farm, I rarely used the central heat. I used the wood burning fireplace and a propane heater. Put plastic over the bedrooms I didn't use and pretty much stayed in the main part of the house. No need to heat up 1848sf for one person!
