Cabin Construction

When a cabin is disassembled, the logs are carefully numbered. After cleaning and restoration, the logs are laid course upon course, much like giant Lincoln Logs. The original roof rafters are erected, the roof structure is insulated, and a roof installed.


From the outside, wire lathe is nailed between the logs and then covered with a layer of chinking.

Inside the cabin, insulation and electric wiring are placed between the logs. Then, as with the outside, wire lathe and chinking are placed over them.

The gable ends are then framed in, insulated, and covered with rough sawn pine boards inside and out. The cabin is now ready to be air conditioned.
