A Log-Cabin In The Woods

By George Dodson


I think you have a strong affinity to go out of doors and you are very much enthusiastic to build a cabin in the woods. You can deserve regard from me. I recognize your identity. You are the one who carries the tradition. You can still get tiny fun though there has no idea to develop your cabin; because, it is a continual process.

Plan Wisely and You Plan for the Future Why are you so hurry dear? Please don't do this at all. It is not a matter that when we can finish. So, I say you to plan intelligently. Go and spend a full season on your building place before starting.

BUILDING RULES YOU MAY NOT VIOLATE If any one apply some basic rules of construction he will successful. But he should havea common idea to use the working tools.

* You should dig enough to cross the frost range in the basement of your cabin. It will protect your cabin from acute cold.

* The basement of your cabin is preferred to be pure squared and leveled. You can remain free from the endless problem through this process.

* You should be honest about the measuring leveling and clearing the cabin square. You should never try to pretend.

* Use sharp tool; it will enhance your efficiency.

* A direct through drainage system is must for your cabin.

You should go forward according to your plan. You should not use your memory in case of cabin building.

Which wood to use for a cabin It is preferable to use soft wood instead of tough wood if you are a beginner. You can use bass' hemlock, pine in this role. If you have not enough idea about oak tree don't use it. It is very much unstable.

Making your doors, windows and gables Considering the thickness of the logs is very important in case of window design. In order to help with sliding forward and backward you have to set stripes on the window. Please keep small opening in the gables of your cabin and ensure it on the both side. It works as ventilator. It is convenient to build your door-frames out of two inch by six inch or two inch by eight inch lumber and to fit the door set up strips inside the door-jamb.

Drainage and grading system of your cabin You must not deserve a clay wet place for your cabin building.Various problem can arise for those like wet floor dampness etc. Even you can suffer from rheumatism and many other diseases.

A high place that pitches city from your cabin should be selected first. Your cabin will remain free from rain and more specifically from melting snow. There is no other way to go on your cabin dry.

Filling the gaps If you want a clean' warm and dry cabin I suggest you to chinking between the logs. It really does work. You should do the work with a great consciousness. It is important to desiccate the logs completely.

Indoor lighting It is nothing but just luxury to use of kerosene lamp in this electrical world. Kerosene lamps give dancing shadows just like candles. Candles and kerosene lamps are part and parcel of a log cabin.

Cold and hot water flowing Your summer camp will never be completed if have no system of shower bath. Don't worry. The price is not so high for installing cold and hot water supply.

SEPTIC You can use septic system but the fact is that the result will be not satisfactory. Some other kind of odor is discharged from it. It is very important to develop this kind of toilet about 50 to 100 feet away from the cabin.

Furniture Do you want a home like appearance in your cabin? Just add some rustic furniture in your cabin.

Emergency entrance After a long journey in the cold when you arrive your cabin without the key I think you can't control yourself. As every human being is fallible at some moment so you have to protect this problem through this scheme.

Providing sun light Skylight is the main source of light to brighten your cabin in dark day. The other advantage is that this system will expel the hot air.

Some foliage Make a forest of your character. God will nurse your seedling. You just need to plant them. The time is for planting just now. It is an easy way to plant trees of one or two years old. It will minimize your cost.

Bird songs Be helpful to birds they will serve you by singing. Give them a shelter; feed them regularly, they will sing and it will refresh yourself.

Fences and gates You are alone in your cabin after passing through the gate and closing it. You can reserve your privacy by closing the gate. It will save you from the imprudence of strangers suddenly.

Friendliness Friendliness is sweeter than any other things in life. No other places but one out-of-doors have an ability to create a friendly and mindful environment in the world.
