Basic Steps in Preparing Self Build Log Cabins
Constructing a log cabin for sale is a little bit different than building an entirely new house taking into consideration that for a hunting cabin you won't need all the amenities you usually have in a regular home.
However, some do prefer to have their cabins fully equipped so it's better to know from the start what sort of features you want. Needless to say, the more features you want, the more it will cost you.
For the interior, there are a lot of choices to take into account depending on what you want, whether it's a fireplace, a wood stove, electric oven or even granite counters.
If you have decided to go with a contractor, it is best to choose one which will deliver a move-in ready cabin that can be connected right away to the utilities.
If you want a hunting cabin, take into account that it will be left empty for a significant amount of time so you will have to take the necessary precautions like sealing off the chimneys in the winter season, as well as evacuating the water from the pipes.
One golden the rule is to check the hunting cabin thoroughly because small damages occurred after a storm or caused by rodents can be quite expensive if not fixed-right away.
During the construction, don't rush with the process because you will probably end up with an unreliable construction. Better yet, opt for a contractor which knows all the necessary steps that have to be taken.
