Cabin Build in TX Hill Country

After months of planning and daydreaming I broke ground yesterday on my cabin build. At this moment only 5 piers have been poured with 13 more to go.
Overview plan is budget minded off grid build. Except for floor and roofing joist most framing will be recycled. Roofing and some siding will be recycled. Hot water solar panels recycled. Windows, recycled. Lighting will be solar led. Water will come from rainwater collection.
Cabin dimensions has been getting a little bigger to accommodate family and guests. Foot print will be 24x32 with 24x14 loft totaling 1104 sqft living.
