That is really cool. Congratulations on the retirement. It is so impressive to me when people can design and build their own house. I would love to be able to do that one day.
Question about the design: was there a reason you went with a small hallway to the addition, plus more deck space, instead of just extending the cabin's full length and getting more indoor square footage? I really like your design and wondered if there is a reason beyond preference. As designed it looks like you will have a deck area where you get view but can escape from the wind.
