Log Cabin Floor Plans

Description

The only step-by-step guide to building log cabins and log furniture—Pioneer style There are other manuals on building cabins, but W. Ben Hunt's is the only one to show you how to build and furnish an authentic pioneer cabin-the easy, natural way, using only hand tools and the woods around you. Our ancestors used logs and hand tools to build durable, dry, windproof, and protective dwellings; and they fashioned chairs, tables, branches, and bushes. In this day of power saws, lumberyards, and high prices, it's good to know that you can build in the same way. How to Build a Log Cabin Part One provides complete directions for building cabins of three sizes: one-room, one-room and lean-to, and three-room. Just follow the clear instructions on every step of construction from choosing the site, clearing the tract, and building the foundation to installing fixtures, heating, and lighting. How to Furnish a Log Cabin If you're not ready to build an entire cabin, you can try your hand at some of the small furnishings such as lamps, fences, and candlesticks. Part Two tells all you need to know to build and finish rustic furniture for an entire home: benches, tables, chairs, beds, cots, shelves, candelabras, gates, arbors, wayside stands, even road signs and birdhouses. "Two Books in One" There are really two books in one here: Building a Log Cabin, published in 1947, and Rustic Construction, published in 1939. These two classics have been reproduced exactly as they first appeared, with the drawings and photographs that W. Ben Hunt selected and produced for the original editions.

A step by step "how-to" on the construction of a log cabin profusely illustrated with over 300 photographs plus several line drawings. This book was written and designed for the "average" person who has the desire to build a log cabin but not much knowledge. Modern tools are used and everything but logs (including roof) were purchased and yet the cost of construction was kept right at $3,000. Common problems are shown being solved using not much more than common sense. From trees in the timber to the final chinking, this book is designed to get the reader out there and building.

Everyone who watches Becky's Homestead knows I built my log cabin kit all by myself, and I love, love, love my cabin! The question I get the most from my viewers is, "Who did you buy your log cabin kit from, and what do I need to know before I buy my own log cabin kit?" That's why I want to help people figure it out with my simple little book–"How To Build A Log Cabin". I wrote this book to be a Soup to Nuts Buyers Guide for anyone who wants to build a log cabin. Before you go out and buy your log package, see if you can answer these questions: What's the difference between stamped and non-stamped blueprints? Do the doors and windows come with the kit? What keeps the logs from warping and bending? How much does a kit really cost after you add on the extras? Can I assemble my kit myself or should I hire a contractor? What's the difference between a log cabin and a log home? What are the pros and cons of log cabins compared to a normal house? What kind of wood makes the best logs? How do I get water, electricity, and sewer connected to my cabin? And, How do I get a permit for building a log cabin kit? If you don't know the answers to these questions you'll be at a disadvantage when your dealing with the log cabin kit companies. That's why my book answers all those questions and more. Now, let me tell you, there are a lot of things the log cabin sales people don't tell you, and if you walk in there unprepared you might be sorry. "How To Build A Log Cabin" is a buyers guide for anyone who dreams of successfully building their own cabin like I did. My book will save you time, money, and frustration.
