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.

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.

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.
