  Use bubble floor. Good floor insulation and helps keep mice out... .. ...

  Cinder blocks are definitely laid the wrong way. The holes go up. It reduces the strength significantly when it’s lying on its side.  Remember how the one cracked and broke in the cart?  Grab a couple of bags of cement, flip your blocks up, fill them with the cement and you’ll then have strength and surface.  Interesting build though.

  Kyles Cabin guy in Minnesota uses that reflective bubble foil on all his floors. I'd say to use it..

  I would add a 2x6 or 2x8 on each side of the 3 4x4 posts that you installed about 4 feet out from the cabin that runs perpendicular and just under each floor joist. Right now those posts are only supporting a single joist each. Place a stringer on each side of those posts the full lenght of the floor tying all 3 4x4's  together and you will support all joists.

  You should put a cross joist underneath irregular joists tying it into your mid 4 x 4 uprights otherwise those uprights are just carrying the single Joist they're tied into.
