How to Build Cabins
Oh to be able to get away from it all. To my own private place, away from the crowds. A place of my own heart and design.
THIS year more and more American families will pile into their cars and take to the hills - or seashore - to seek refuge and blessed escape in their own little -or large-cozy retreat.
Sheer luxury, yes, but at prices, we have found, that are well within the reach of most of us.
We have run across many interesting people in the preparation of this site and the book that goes with it -in fact all the folks we've contacted were somehow relaxed and thoughtful types.
This, we discovered, was no coincidence.
These people had already tasted the rich, clear wine of freedom and pure air.
They had taken time out to live, and in living they had come alive.
Enjoy - D.T.

Log Cabin Kit-How Does It Work?
Eriani Doyel
Have you ever heard of a log cabin kit? No, this is not the Lincoln Logs you played with as a child. It is a kit to build a real, life-size cabin. If you have fond memories from your childhood of staying in a cabin with friends or family and getting away from it all to get back to nature, this may be the way for you to relive those memories for yourself or to pass them on to your children. A log cabin kit is a way for families of nearly every income level to achieve their dream of owning a vacation home. When people think of a vacation home, they often think of something that you may have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on, only to use it a few weeks out of the year. Most people just cannot afford this type of investment. However, if you have access to some fairly inexpensive land with water and other utility rights, a log cabin kit may be well within your means. You will need a little carpentry know-how, and you may need to contract out some of the more difficult work like plumbing or electric-but you can even build it yourself if you desire. Or, you can hire a builder to use the materials and blueprints from the kit to do it for you. You can find a log cabin kit online easily that will fit your needs, but first you will need to determine what your needs are. How many people will be using the log cabin? Will those needs change in the future? Can you make additions to the log cabin kit plan if you need to? How big is the lot? Do you want a deck or patio added on? What appliances, electronics and plumbing features do you feel are necessary? Once you have decided what features are necessary in your log cabin kit, you can begin shopping for one. Check out the company offering the kit with the Better Business Bureau to make sure that they do not have a large number of unresolved claims or complaints. How long have they been in business? Do they have a log cabin kit with all of the features you are looking for, and if not, will they customize one for you? Are their instructions easy to follow? Are the materials of top-quality? Each of these questions is important to consider when you are looking for a log cabin to live out your dreams.

Cabins - Building Your Own Cabin
|
The John Alden By Jack Wetherell
Solid Maine White Cedar logonlog construction makes this large 32x34ft. retreat a real log cabin—in every sense of the word.
AWAY OF LIFE"—perhaps best decribes log cabin living. These were the words of Editor Ray Gill when he recently paid a visit to this particular cabin in Babylon. Long Island. It is a product of the Ward Cabin Company of Presque Isle, Maine and serves as a yearround home and model.
As you can see, this is a threebedroom house with a goodsized living room, and a kitchen designed to provide adequate space for a dining area. The l0xl0ft breezeway is a pleasant spot to spend those summer evenings in addition to adding interesting lines to the cabin. Besides keeping you dry between the house and garage when the weather is bad, it's a good place to store firewood in the winter.
The twocar garage measures 20x22 ft. Besides the twocar capacity, there is plenty of room here for the garden tools and that workbench.
Whether it is a full or parttime cabin though, we still have to think about maintenance or upkeep. This is a man's house true enough, but from the upkeep standpoint alone, it also becomes very much a woman's house. Upkeep is nil. The outside of the logs actually require nothing to protect them from the elements and will, in time, turn a beautiful silvergray in color.
On the other hand if the thought of a silvergray house does not appeal to you. and you are partial to the natural light color of the Northern White Cedar logs, spray it with a couple of coats of Log Cabin Finish. The result is a warm honey color which will not darken appreciably with age. Stains, too, can be used on either the trim or, as some folks prefer, over the entire exterior.
