Hey Kevin,

Just read this and was wondering if you ever built the cabin – would like to see pics if you have any. I’m planning on cutting down several cedars soon and using them to build a small cabin myself. Any help is def. appreciate. Thanks!

This is a lovely little wood home. I love the snow hanging off the eaves. Makes you want to live out in the middle of nowhere. We have always wanted a log and have considered doing it ourselves.

Building your own log cabin is alot of work and it doesn’t stop when you finish the building. Log cabins require a good bit of maitinence even after the construction is over. I would recommend going with a modular building that give you the look of a log cabin without the headache of trying to make it yourself. I’ve been looking at some from http://www.zookcabins.com and the economy and quality of those building looks good.

Hi Kevin – Not knowing where you are located, it is very hard to give you advice for your area. However, I would check with local saw mills and find out if they have logs available for purchase.

The reprint of the 1983 Popular Mech. art. was probably the coolest small log cabin I have ever seen. Any idea were to pruchase the logs needed for this project? I will have this cabin in my back yard. Kevin
