Embracing Nostalgia in Log Cabin Living

When you step into this cozy log cabin it's like taking a step back in time. The log cabin is as much an image as it is a building. It is a symbol of the settling of the nation. It evokes thoughts of maple syrup and the American frontier. A log cabin is an important setting in the stories of real and fictional people such as Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Boone, and Uncle Tom. Perhaps because of this, people give the log cabin a status no other type of house enjoys. With Pioneer Log Cabins in Utah, each log cabin is individually handcrafted and can be customized which is unique in this day and age, and authentic of times past.

Craftsmanship and Authenticity

The log cabins are built from whole logs. The logs have been glued and fastened together with log screws, including steel bar supports on the corners with concrete chinking applied in a steel mesh. Shingles are sawn on a 1911 shingle saw and applied with screws and adhesive on top of a heavy moisture barrier fabric. The log cabins have heavy 1/4 inch pane glass windows. The fireplace is built with real rock around a steel fabricated firebox and chimney, insulated with perlite. All lumber is fastened with screws. All lumber and shingles are milled on-site. Logs come off of local mountains. In the log cabins, you'll find authentic style, hand-built furnishings.

Versatile and Transportable Log Cabins

The log cabin and porch are built as a single unit, secured to a log base, and can be transported. The outside dimensions are 14 feet by 18 feet. All wood is oil treated inside and out. You'll want to come in and visit the log house builders and experience the pioneer heritage that their log cabins represent. Add a Pioneer Log Cabin to your choice of property and create your log cabin getaway. The following are some of the benefits of log cabin living.

Health Benefits of Log Homes

Log homes are healthy. A log house with all-natural building materials means you won't suffer off-gassing as you can have with manmade building materials. And when coupled with low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) stains and regular HVAC maintenance, you can create a healthier indoor environment for you and your family. Log house construction is versatile. Whether your style is a rustic cabin or a modern log house construction, your log cabin can be anything you want it to be. Maybe you don't need a new home, you just need an extra property. If so, a log cabin could be the ideal place to retreat when you seek quiet time and peace away.

Environmental Impact of Log Homes

Log homes are good for the environment. Many log home builders use standing dead timbers (trees that were killed while standing, either by insects or by fire), which, when felled, improves the health of the forest and reduces wildfire threat. Companies that use trees often practice reforestation, and, the milling process for log homes reduces log house construction waste and minimizes the carbon footprint in the process. Plus, many log manufacturers recycle the waste they do create into mulch or even biofuel to heat their mills.
