Log cabin home

[splinters]

my first house was wooden. it wasnt a log cabin but a timber frame and clad in wood. just a big fancy shed really. my parents own 35 acres of wood so it cost next to nothing to build. I lived in it for about 4 years then my now wife moved in and then our daughter came along. it was only when my wife was pregnant for the second time that we decided it was time to move into a proper house. but it is still standing. my parent use it for visitors. its been up about 8 years now.

First stage, sent off for estimate to get electric onto site, there is none anywhere near, so this could be the first obstacle if it's a rediculous quote.

 

Going to have a look at one being built in Chester on thursday by the firm I am going to get to supply the log homes, he is then going to give me a rough idea of cost based on my sketches

A farmer friend here has just been quoted £70k to have 3 phase power to a new milking unit spanning about 400metres and its a fairley straight forward job

That's what's worrying me, it would kill off the idea from the start

Getting it from the boundary to the cabins will be dead easy

Went to look at one being built in woodland near chesterfield today.

I've decided this is the one I will go for with a couple of small alterations and should come in at £120k ready to move in. Next hurdle, make an appointment to see planning to see if it would be something they would consider
