log cabin

I'm including some small-cabin-plans and information about log cabins because they are very popular here in the west. There are many log cabin kits that make construction easy. It sure didn't used to be that way.

Back in the old west, they had to work really hard to build even a small cabin. I know how hard they worked because I've built one by hand. I'll never do it that way again! It was great experience though.

Here's my grandpa's cabin in Montana many years ago. I can't tell if that's my grandpa or my grandma in the picture. Back then everyone was all tough as nails so they pretty much looked alike.

I made my first cabin with a saw and an ax. It's a primitive way of doing things these days. Logs are now run through planers and shaped uniformly.
The logs need to be fairly dry or they will warp and twist once they're installed.

Most log homes are cut and assembled at the manufacturing site to make sure everything fits together perfectly.

Then they are dismantled and hauled to the building site where they are permanently put together.

There are many different options of appearance for both interior and exterior designs according to your taste.
