Log cabin home

[kinney logging]

this is a very good thread . ive always wanted to build a log home

[Brett]

What sort of money is that one in the picture Dean ? Does the price include erection ?

 

Giggidy!!!

We will probably remain in our home for 30 years, but a log home would be one of few options that prompts me to move.

 

Here's some inspiration ... just an upper loft view ....

 

If you ever come to Oregon, check out Camp 18 restaurant east of Seaside, Oregon, along Hy. 26. One of the larger log structures in west Oregon.

 

I keep visualizing it as a home instead of a place to eat.

That's stunning..

 

This is one we also had in mind, I want hand scribed but the wife is not too keen and prefect the less rustic machined profile

Hi Dean,

 

Just seen your thread - have you tried Scandinavia Systems, they're based in Edinburgh. They look quite good, hope this helps and apologies if you've already seen their site.

 

All the best,

 

Jamie

Tiled Floor is so WRONG

How do they "get away" with a ladder in lieu of Building Control approved stairs

I think the ladder is just for a small mezzanine floor, not the whole upper storey.

Living the dream eh. This mortgage free idea sounds great but funnily shortly after we became mortgage free, we bought an industrial unit and that was the end of that dream. If you're ambitious, you always push the envelope. Thats the way it is.

Good luck with this. I still think Ben Laws house on grand designs was the best of all.

The tiled flooring will be a heat sink for under floor heating.

 

You can basically specify anything you like, raise the wall height by two logs, steepen the roof pitch, move that wall over there, wood floor, solid floor.

 

Had a look at the Scandanavian Jamie, cheers mate
