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 buildingĀ  instead of a 12×12 inside living space.

I had to screw inĀ  (36)Ā  3×3/8 inchĀ  lag boltsĀ  to all the outer joistĀ  into the 4x4s for stability.
