I got the remainder of the flooring installed, I got the ladder/stairs installed, and I got the loft railing secured and installed. This cabin is usable, although working doors and windows would be nice at this point.
The loft railing and the stairs were pre-fabricated in my workshop, but with only a little bit of planing, everything fit like a glove.
I used beautiful black oxide square head lag bolts to secure the loft railing and stairs. Worked like a charm!
Here is the backside of the loft railing. I still need to trim the pegs...
I even moved a little furniture into the cabin... Here is a bench/chest in the loft:
The flooring turned out well. I still need to do a final sanding before I oil it. This goat barn flooring is a bit rough. There were some 1/8" gaps in places and some height differences between boards. Sanding should help that somewhat. Overall, I am very happy with this flooring.
Here, the bottom of the stairs terminate on a piece of flooring. However, I've replaced that piece of flooring with two custom pieces of cherry that I harvested and milled from Moscow.
Things are going well. I'm working on the exterior frame now so that I can finally add windows, insulation, and hang the door. More on that soon...
Wow,It looks differ from others ...It is really nice...

Out of curiosity where in north Idaho is that? I'm just wondering because that's where I live and that area looks vaguely familiar.
