Log cabin floor plans 2 (Part 1)

Log cabin floor plans 2 - Cantilevering the porch of this cottage out over the water would give a dramatic effect. The shell of this cottage should be built all at one time. You'll note that I have shown an alternate living-room arrangement in the sketches.

The fireplace arrangement using masonry would be very good-looking, but it's hard work. The more simple Franklin stove would give almost as much heat. By using a studio couch in the dining area, you would almost have an extra bedroom.

The siding is made from plywood with horizontal batten strips would be fairly easy to build. You'll find that it is one of the easiest and quickest ways of putting siding on any surface. You could use this system on almost any of the other cottages.

One suggestion about the large glass areas�use demiplate or seconds of real plate glass. Sometimes you can find a glazier who has replaced a store-front glass and can buy the damaged piece. Have him cut the glass at the site so that it will fit properly for this log cabin floor plans.
