Log cabin floor plans 2 (Part 9)

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.

Finish the interior as desired. Install mechanical and electrical equipment.
