    Log cabin materials, some help please.

    Log cabin materials, some help please.

    I like the short log construction method. The pre milled cabin kit is probably the most cost effective way to get what we want. . . but it sure as hell takes the fun out of it. From this ive found out what I was dreading, but expecting. It's gonna be difficult to get the quintessential log...

    Log cabin materials, some help please.

    Santaman new telegraph poles vary in price but it's about £200 a pole, more ideally than id want to spend. Mrcharly I'd like that very much. Exploriment, yes its about nostalgia. I like building projects we are just coming to the end of building a western style chuck wagon, we've built it as...

    Log cabin materials, some help please.

    The ones that I've seen are yes, any that become used it's because they're no longer suitable for their role. new ones no longer have creosote on them but it'll be many years before they need to be replaced so until them I'm stuck with a market flooded with older generation ones.

    Cor blimey, that does look good! I'm an architect by trade, once I finish designing this ill post some plans on here for people to have a gander at. As long as I can decide on/find some materials I will also put together a build blog to see. I'm sure you will all appreciate that.

    Log cabin materials, some help please.

    I thought of using pallets and the pre-fab route, it's just not got the appeal I am looking for. We are going to build this for fun and really would like to do logs, I've seen some cabins built out of scaffolding boards and then an outer skin of cut logs to hide it, it looks ok but at the...

    Hi all, My grandfather and I are looking at building a log cabin in his back garden. This will mainly be used as a fully functioning, self contained cabin and on occasion be used as a simple guest room for people staying over. We have chosen the space for it and a rough size (5mx4m), now I am...

    Deep heat

    hot and cold are used to treat different injuries, not to be mixed up. I dont recall it though. I have a physiotherapist friend I'll ask her in the morning and post which way round it is. She always shouts at me for using heat when i should be using cold :(

    Deep heat

    Bear Grylls

    agreed, Ray has stated before producers have asked him to do things a certain way to make it more fun. He said no, its done this way and this is the way that I'll do it, it doesnt matter if its boring or not. Bear says sure I'll do whatever you want to make the show look cool! People watch...

    Straw bale construction

    I've never built one but I did design one a few years back as the architect, seemed a lot more solid than i expected and we ended with some pretty attractive U-values. Im rather jealous you get to built it as its one of the few jobs I actually wanted to go help build it on site. do you know if...
