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 A_Lone.Wolf@yahoo.com Steven Wolf I like the fact that answer number one is pretty OPEN in his statments.

You show how to notch one side of the log,

but I notice when I take a look at all the logs interlocked, do you need to notch both sides of the log? or just one side?

the reason i am asking this is because,

there are gaps between the logs, and if someone were in say, a “survival” situation,

and they wanted to seal off all gaps to have it as insulated as possible, how would you go about doing that?

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.

Lay some 1x4s 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. Just make some trusses and put them on 2 foot apart .

I am making a log cabin and needed to know a better way to notch the logs out, I was just doing it with a mallet and scraper thing. It was awful! thank you for this!
