Log cabin floor plans - This simple box could be built on a very level piece of property or could be made to span two islands. The porch that separates the living area from the sleeping area could be very comfortable. Breezes could blow through unhindered. It would be a good place to eat and relax in. If sunlight is a problem, a heavier overhang on the glass side might be desirable. If the weather permits using the porch, this cottage can sleep six or eight people.�

If you decide to span two islands or straddle a stream as shown in the photograph, I'd suggest that you check with a local architect or engineer about the sizes of supporting beams which will run lengthwise of the camp.�

I've shown a Franklin stove at the end of the living area. You might prefer to use a solid masonry wall at that end and include a regular fireplace.�This log cabin floor plans�can be done.

Log cabin floor plans - Here's the smallest cottage of all. It is really minimal, but it can sleep four if a daybed is used in the dining corner. The details show how a folding table could be made to fit into the wall at this point. By using this arrangement, you will be able to pull the daybed out without trouble.

The fireplace is optional. It will cut down on your closet space. Perhaps you would prefer to use a Franklin stove standing out in the room. Note the use of a corner storage box between the corner couches and the storage space under the beds. This log cabin floor plans is easy to make and will give you a surprising amount of dead-storage area. You might line the corner unit with metal so that you can safely store things in it during the winter without fear of rodents destroying the contents.

CONSTRUCTION OUTLINE

Foundation: Piers made of 8-by-8-by-16-inch block. Top block poured solid and bolts put into place to receive sill.

Flooring: Sills drilled to take bolts and then placed on pier foundation. Tighten bolts. Spike inner width of header to sill. Lay out floor joists and spike them to inner header. Spike outer header to the inner width. Where joists run through to form balcony, nail 2-by-8-inch fascia piece in place to give floor rigidity. Be sure that the ends of these pieces rest on, or are tied to, some masonry. Nail down flooring. Install door and window sills and lay sole around outer edge and under partitions.

Wall Framing: Lay out long wall sections on floor. When completed, tip into place and use temporary bracing to hold in vertical position. Frame all other walls.

Roof: Place roof rafters in place and lay roofing boards. Be sure to use collar pieces. Use roll roofing or shingles. Apply them as described in construction section.

Side-wall Finish: Nail waterproof or exterior-grade plywood to exterior wall. Apply batten strips.

Vents, Doors, and Other Openings: Follow details on preceding pages or in special details.

Insulation: Medium- or full-thickness Fiberglas or equivalent insulation stapled between roof rafters. Use medium thickness in walls.
