Here is where it started to get complicated for me. I was looking for a 12×16 cabin but once I looked at it, I decided I wanted the whole 12×16 for floor space so I added a 4-foot porch to the 12×16 to make it a 12×20 total building instead of a 12×12 inside living space.

I had to screw in  (36)  3×3/8 inch lag bolts to all the outer joist into the 4x4s for stability.

I have (20) 13-inch hurricane studs with 5/12 pitch angle cuts.
