Log Cabin Logs
Does anybody have any tips on building a log cabin? Especially about the dry of the logs.?
I'am going to Build A Log Cabin back aways back in the woods. I cut the balsam logs into 16 footers last summer and shortly going to 2 side them with our mill. But is it better to put them on stickers to air dry them; or build the cabin right away, as the whole building will settle and dry? An area in the woods would be cleared for the cabin, but I don't know if there would be enough air flow to dry the logs properly? Any tips would be helpful. Thanks
If you air dry, buy a moisture meter. That takes the guess work out of it, and the risk of not getting it right. Moisture content should run about 8 percent over 80 percent of each log. Should you decide to build before the logs are dry, then open cracks will develop between the logs as the wood dries out - especially with pine. And put stresses on interior sheeting as well, such as sheet rock or paneling, also resulting in cracks. I live in northern Minnesota, and many dry kilns are in close proximity. I recommend kiln drying. With air drying, you might end up with 20 percent waste due to cracking. Kiln drying can reduce that to 5 percent.

Where can I go for a honeymoon stay in a log cabin in the mountains?
I am getting married in September 2011 and would like to stay in a beautiful log cabin in the mountains anywhere in the U.S. in December 2011 for our honeymoon. We are getting married on a beach so the mountains would be a nice change of pace for the honeymoon. Does anyone have any suggestions of where to go?
Check out Estes Park Colorado. It's a beautiful town on the edge of the Rockies National Park, there's plenty of individual homes to rent just outside the city, and you'll feel like you are miles away from civilization. You can hike the Rockies, then spend time wandering around town in the evening.
Another more rugged option is one of the old forest lookout towers, the Forest Service rents some of them out here in Oregon http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/recreation/rentals/index.shtml
Or what about a cabin in Alaska? That's really roughing it!
