The Rustic
After subfloor is laid the walls are added. Wait until roof is up before putting in hardwood floor.
The large, airy kitchen (12×13 ft. 2 in.) contains a good-sized pantry and an extra service entrance to the rear of the cabin.For general construction details of this type of cabin, read The John Alden. page 38, and The Six-Shooter, page 32. At this point, however, we can add a few more details.When the building is closed in entirely, the hardwood finished floor can be put in. This is a conventional construction and we needn’t say much about it except that you will save yourself a lot of time and work if you can rent a floor nailing machine. Now lay out partitions by chalking lines on the finished flooring. It need not conform exactly to the drawings in laying out partitions as long as you do not increase the total lineal feet of partitions. However, where a partition under a tie beam is shown, it must remain there as it provides strength. Partitions not under tie beams.Little sawing is required for Ward Cabins since logs are precut. Here notch for light switch is being cut.
Raising the heavy log purlins is the most difficult problem. We suggest you rent a derrick.
but under ceiling joists, should have a double joist immediately above them. When the lines are definitely established, nail quarter round along them and plumb up to the above support. Now place partitions, driving them together permanently.
All vertical plank partitions are kiln-dried and are given a shop-applied dip treatment with a surface sealer.
