Is it proving difficult to work at home as you don’t have enough space or you keep getting distracted by others? If this is the situation then it is worth thinking about erecting a log cabin in your garden which you can then use as your home office. Home office log cabins not only offer you additional space but it takes far less time to construct one of these compared to putting an extension on your home.
The first that you will soon learn when searching for log cabins online is that they come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. But once erected they all look very attractive and in most cases it only takes a week to erect them.
Generally people who decide to install home office log cabins in their gardens will opt for the square or rectangular one room types to provide them with the privacy and space they need. However, there are also hexagonal and L shaped types available and each type provides more than sufficient space for a home office to be set up in them.
When it comes to you deciding which size and shape of log cabin to erect in your garden to use as a home office there are certain factors that you need to take into consideration beforehand. Below we look at just what some of these are.
1. How Much Space Is In Your Garden? – You should opt for the size and shape of shed that will allow you to not easily erect it but also maintain it. So measure out the area where you wish to erect yours and allow 18 inches on all sides to allow it to be erected easily and so maintaining it won’t prove difficult. For example if the area available measures 14ft x 10ft then go for a log cabin which measures 12ft x 8ft.
2. Where Is It To Be Located? – Make sure that you locate it in a position that allows you to run all the services (power, telephone lines) to it easily. So make sure that it is in a position that is close to these various utilities. However for your PC you can always consider going wireless and just have a network card installed that allows you to connect to the router in the house. But make sure that the router is located in a position where the signal from it can easily be picked up.
3. How Much Space Do You Want Inside? – Go for home office log cabins that offer ample space that allows everything you need to be inside and within easy reach, but allows you room to move around in it freely. If you are someone who is going to have visitors on a regular basis it is worth considering opting for the loft style log cabins now available. You can then use the upper space as your office and the space downstairs for meetings and also somewhere to allow you to make tea and coffee.

Nice work, you did pretty good.
You’re really good man. You’ve got excellent talent.
Read this completely because I intend on building my own very nice log home very cheaply but you have to know how to do it.
It is according to where you live, the type of log home you want, if you are going to have it built, if you are going to use a kit, how big the logs are you will use, and if you are going to work on it yourself.
You can build a brick home for less than most log kits cost.
Most the kits out there cost between $100 and $150 for each 16 foot log.
I bidded on several homes when I was contracting but they all, every single one of them ended up building brick homes because of the cost.
I built my on sawmill so I van cut all logs, flooring and roofing timbers, flooring, roofing sheathing, studs, wood for doors, windows, kitchen cabinets, and even the trim.
You can buy a new sawmill for a few thousand dollars to do the same or if you can weld as I do, build one for less than a grand.
If you use quarry rock for the basement walls or foundation, as I intend on doing, and do the work to cut all your own materials, you can build it for less than $50,000.
You are talking about a home that is close to 2,200 square feet.
If you have it built and buy a kit, you are talking well over a quarter million dollars.
If you do it all yourself "and do good work" you can have over $200,000 equity in it when you move in but you will have to have perfect credit or scratch build it.
If you buy the right land at a good price, you may be able to get a second morgage on it to help pay to build the house. It should also have standing timber on it to use for the home.
Several of the sawmill manufactors sell them on credit also.
And you will need a planer / molder and can also get them financed.
Both of these pieces of equipment is something you can resell after you have finished the home to regroup much of the cost and is figured into the $50,000 stated above.
It's not a small undertaking but it is well worth it in the long run. Any body can learn to build a nice one if they try. They were building them hundreds of years ago with axes and hand saws.
The only thing holding me up is the right land. I want a creek so I can make my own electricity also.
If you have any more questions, e-mail me. I'll be glad to help.
woww that’s really relax and beatiful soung .good picture of jhony depp !
good luck man that sounds sweet.
No don't bother, Coke and Pepsi also contain huge quantities of corn syrup also and will work about as well.
amazing! Willy teach me how to paint like you!
:O
:O
:O
how is this not a real photo?
hm i couldn’t tell the difference between photograph and painting comparing the final resault.
This is sick
Perfect.
Depending how long the log is, I had one replaced last yr. It was 8 ft long and cost me $1200 to contract out. It took the contractor all day. Call in a few GCs and get three bids. That will give you a better idea. Yellow page it.
I like the fact that answer number one is pretty OPEN in his statments. TO accurately define your prices/end costs, it seems to me (with all dur respect) you already have so much of what you need regarding resources, to get PRICES.
Without knowing at all,,,the "LAY OF THE LAND" I'd probably go with a "daylight" basement" AND honestly 2200 sq. ft. is hardly a CABIN. SIGH. I see and get in e mail Every day,,,BUILD TO SHELL…NC cabins for less that 100 K. I so want to assume you could double that to finish.
Another thing I might ask is WHY do you need a LOAN to finish? No offense to you certainly,,, OR the KIT provider, but you don't mention WHERE? IE: 35 miles East of Ashville? Etc,,, OR if you already OWN the land? IF you happened to own the land,,, the loan could be negotiated with it as collateral.
Once more, and with all due respect…FINISH might be relative, as it FITS some liveable plan you have, and could easily take 18 to 24 months?
Finally, and I hope I haven't offended you. ANYONE doing any work, and depending on zoning and code issues, better be ready to back up any liability "DADDY" or not.
No one here who answers can know your families commeitment, or a time frame for you

Log cabins are beautiful and homey to live in. However, they are high-maintenance and expensive. Because they are built of organic materials, it is almost like they are alive.
To keep a log home in top condition, requires the wood logs to be treated and maintained regularly year after year so the wood doesn't dry out and rot. Sometimes the logs can warp and need to be repaired or replaced, which is expensive. Also, weather wears out the weatherproofing material between the logs, and it will also eventually need to be maintained and repaired continuously over time.
If you are up to the regular high maintenance (either by doing it yourself or by paying someone else to do it), then a log cabin is a wonderful type of building that is well worth the investment.
Nice… I think log cabin is perfect near the ocean. If you want some decor in it… you can try visit this site. http://www.kdloghomes.com/
Just make some trusses and put them on 2 foot apart . Lay some 1×4s across the trusses 18 inch's apart then lay some tin on the roof overlapping each other. Then use the special tin to cap off the roof. Dont use logs too much weight. Use plywood and framing. Build it on skids. So you can pull it with snow mobile.
Brilliant Willy, Just Brilliant =D
Very nice!!
