Log cabin floor plans 5 (Part 1)
Log cabin floor plans - You'll have to study this plan a bit before you realize how interesting it could be. The central entrance area is like having a porch. In fact, it could be screened on both sides instead of being partially enclosed as shown on the plan. If you prefer this arrangement, enclose the ends toward the bedroom and living room. Even when you aren't able to use the central roofed area, you'll find that there is plenty of room for dining and relaxing in the living area of the cabin.
The patio formed by the bedroom and living-room areas could be paved as described for the tenth cottage of this series of plans. The roof could also be screened. Corrugated Fiberglas in colors could also be used.
The outdoor closet areas near the entrance could be used for storage of an outboard motor, a pump, water heater, and other equipment. If the fireplace is omitted, be sure to brace this corner, as it carries a considerable roof load.

Log cabin floor plans 4 (Part 8)
CONSTRUCTION OUTLINE
Foundation: Piers made of 8-by-8-by-16-inch block. Pour top block solid and insert bolts 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. Now spike the outer header to the inner width. Nail down flooring. Install door and window sills and lay sole around outer edge and under partitions.
Wall Framing: Lay out wall sections A and C on the floor. When completed, tip into place and use temporary bracing to hold in vertical position. Frame walls B and D.
Roof: Place roof joists in place and lay roofing boards. Coat roofing boards with asphalt cement. Place a layer of 15-pound roofing felt over. Use cold type of mastic and brush over felt. Start laying selvage edge of roofing material at end A.
Side-wall Finish: Use l-by-6 or l-by-8 tongue-and-groove siding nailed at top, bottom, and at herringbone bridging.
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 joists. Use medium thickness in side walls. Finish as desired. Install plumbing and electrical equipment as convenient.
