We are using 6x6 square cedar log and we are building a cabin from start. This will be primitive cabin , no ac but will be heated by a cubic grizzly wood stove , Lighted by propane / oil lamps.

That slab was a great idea. I also love the square timber. I have a bunch of logs on the ground and am considering making timber like yours using one of those chainsaw mills since they're pretty inexpensive these days.

I am so In love with this build and the videos posted this far! This may be a silly question but it’s serious. Where did you get the logs? We’re they posts or did you cut them and have them milled or...? I would love to do something like this back home in KY but have no way to acquire such logs.

I am so glad I found your video. I had been going to get one of those log cabin kits, but the prices are way too high. I can buy cedar 6x6 like this half the price that the kits supply. I am going with slab also. I can't tell from the first video if you put the first log right on the concrete (after wrapping with the moisture barrier), or if you put down a 2 x 6 plank first? Either way, what did you anchor the first log to? Anchors into the concrete, liquid nail? I know the weight of the logs and the fact they will all be secured together is probably enough, just wondering if you did anything to the first row? Looking forward to watch all of them, it is winter here now, and I can't start till spring. It was 20 below Farenheight here this am.
@Krakology Жыл бұрын
The first row was 6x6 treated lumber wrapped in that water proof stuff.. then i drilled a 1/2 hole and used a 10 in long 1/2 wide tapcon concrete bolt to secure the logs to the concrete.. then each log had those timberlok type screws to secure to the lower log with liquid nails to help secure and also to make sure it was a tight fit
@livingcheap1625 Жыл бұрын
@@Krakology Thank you. I decided against using a slab, going to put 6x6 posts in holes and add concrete and will build a floor joist system prior to first log row. Concrete was out of my price range. I still like your concept though, and will adapt it to my 21'x25' build.
