Where can I find information, books, or websites on building log cabins by hand with no power tools and fresh cut trees just like Dick Proenneke did?
Have you tried http://www.dickproenneke.com/DickProenneke.html or http://www.2020site.org/cabin/index.html or http://outlands.tripod.com/farm/logcabin.htm or http://www.ehow.com/how_2044832_build-log-cabin.html? Aren’t search engines wondeful???
Can anyone build a cabin with elecrical wiring and plumbing on its own?
January 27th, 2010 by admin, under Build a Cabin. 5 Comments
I would like to build @ 250 sq.ft. cabin with electric stove,refrigerator
and 20 gallon electric water and air conditioner on my own.I do not want to hire electrician or plumbing.I am planning to build a cabin in Texas. Please help by providing answer or guidance.
Nothing to stop you in most places if you submit plans, apply for permits & get inspections for code compliance
.Also keeps your insurance company happy.
Your local bldg inspector can walk you through the process of being your own GC & cite bldg regs.( if he’s not hanging out in a bar like the one in my town).
You will still need the local utility co’s to do electric and water tie ins & provide meters.
Best regards.
Edit:
Smokey has a good point.
Is it possible to build a cuddy/cabin for a 13 ft boat?
January 17th, 2010 by admin, under Build a Cabin. 4 Comments
Yes. Of course it depends on the boat design, but it’s very possible to have a cabin in a 13 footer, some are even smaller. See the links below:

How much does it cost to replace a rotten log in a log cabin?
December 13th, 2009 by admin, under Log Cabins. 1 Comment
Hi,
Did anybody have experience with replacing bad log in log cabin? The log I have is the first one on the bottom so it gets a lot of moisture. Needs fixing or replacement.
Thank You.
Depending how long the log is, I had one replaced last yr. It was 8 ft long and cost me $1200 to contract out. It took the contractor all day. Call in a few GCs and get three bids. That will give you a better idea. Yellow page it.

is it illegal to build a cabin and live on state property in the appalachian mountains?
November 19th, 2009 by admin, under Build a Cabin. 3 Comments
Well not so fast folks, You can get a state or national forest land lease in certain approved areas and build a seasonal use cabin. I do agree that you can’t just move right in and do that anywhere but it can be done legally.

Dream of building your own off the grid cabin? or have you done it? What are/were your biggest obstacles?
November 13th, 2009 by admin, under Build a Cabin. 3 Comments
For years I have been planning to build my own cabin. I very much want to live a much simpler lifestyle. Info on do-it-yourself, affordable solar power has been my biggest obstacle. Wind power would also be ideal in my area, but there’s even less info on that.
Biggest thing is probably location and property.
