Adding a Lean-to for storage and to cover the outhouse.
We are using 6x6 square cedar log and we are building a cabin from start.

Well thanks for the videos, very interesting viewing. I'm about to start a similar construction in my yard, here in the UK, using railway sleepers. It's not a very common building method here, so I'm struggling to find much in the "how to" vein. Watching yours come together has been a real help. I'm probably going to go for strip foundations, bringing things up above ground level with blocks, before starting to lay the sleepers. I'll then add a joinsted, insulated floor and timber framed insulated wall inside but the actual surfing and joining of the sleepers will be similar to yours. I alai fall like the way you've got the traditional extended, interlaced logs sticking out at the corners; I might do the same. Good luck!

May I make a odd comment? Is it possible you could bring the out house flush against the back wall, cut a hole in the wall and be able to walk right into the out house? Is this a feasible option? At least you would not have to go outside to gain entry and you might probably has some heat going into the out house???? Just a thought.

maybe.. but i live in alabama, and cold isnt that much of a problem.. 100 deg summer and smelling the feces would be more of a concern for me.. altho no smell now.. wondering what summer will bring..

Any issues with gaps developing as time as past? I am looking to do the same thing with black oak logs and curious how yours is holding up with this style. Thanks

[@Krakology]

@@Krakology What style is this with no dovetail or notch? Seems the best way to go but i don't see many people doing it. Great videos thanks for the content

Can you tell me how much it cost to build? This is my dream! I recently inherited land in a forest in Kentucky. I'm going to build this. Is this wood you can get from Lowe's or Home Depot?

[@Krakology]

got the wood from a place in Tn . it was #3 cedar posts , with cracks and holes, ect. i think i got them for $3 bf maybe,

[@MrGeroth]

It’s rustic.

[@georgehayduke6717]

You can get away with that when you don't have a snow load problem
