Inspiration for Your Own Log Cabin

This stunning log cabin might inspire you for a log house of your own. Designing and building a log cabin is a great way to ensure that your home suits your family's lifestyle and needs. There are several steps you can take when considering your log cabin to get the home of your dreams. Properly planning your log cabin will also save you time and money throughout the log house construction, and be on your way to realizing your beautifully designed log cabin building.

Choosing the Right Building Site

To start, you want to choose a building site on your plot of land. You can begin planning as soon as you purchase your piece of land. Study the property to determine the best spot to locate your log cabin. Hire a civil engineer or a land surveyor to help prepare a site plan that shows the property lines, building setbacks, easements, and rights of way, along with the location of trees, streams, ponds, roads, and buildings on adjacent sites. You will need this information to properly locate a septic system, plan a walkout basement or position a swimming pool. Using a photocopy of your building site plan, you can keep track of your property's natural features.

Assessing Property Features for Cabin Planning

You also want to note the property's topography, the sun's orientation, the best views, and any existing tree cover. If possible, it's a good idea to visit the site at various times of the day and during all of the four seasons. You can plant stakes and string to map out the boundaries of your log house and to help you visualize the size and layout of your design. Bring a ladder with you when you go and stand on it so you can get a good idea of what the views from the windows will be. Then take photos of your building lot and log house site.
