* It is essential to make a direct drainage system.

You should go forward according to your plan. You should not use your memory in case of cabin building.

LOGS FOR YOUR CABIN It is preferable to use soft wood instead of tough wood if you are a beginner. You can use bass' hemlock, pine in this role. For being unstable you should not use the Oak tree unless you are not thoroughly familiar with it.

You doors and windows Considering the thickness of the logs is very important in case of window design. In order to help with sliding forward and backward you have to set stripes on the window. You should be confirmed around the little openings on the both sides in the gables of your cabin. It is helpful for the easy movement of air. It is convenient to build your door-frames out of two inch by six inch or two inch by eight inch lumber and to fit the door set up strips inside the door-jamb.

The drainage You must not deserve a clay wet place for your cabin building.This is proved undoubtedly that, dampness, wet floors, rheumatism is the consequence of poor drainage system.

A high place that pitches city from your cabin should be selected first. Your cabin will remain free from rain and more specifically from melting snow. There is no other way to go on your cabin dry.

CHINKING If you want a clean' warm and dry cabin I suggest you to chinking between the logs. It really does work. Heavy cares is must for the completion thus. You have to dry the logs in the full sun.

Lamps, Lighting and Illumination Generally kerosene lamp is rare now a day where it is an era of electricity. Kerosene lamps give dancing shadows just like candles. You can not imagine a wood cabin without a candle and kerosene lamp.

Cold and hot water flowing Your summer camp will never be completed if have no system of shower bath. You are able to put up the system of cold and hot water at very reasonable cost.

installation of septic system You can easily install the septic system in your cabin but you can not be happy with its outcome. The releasing odor is something bad. It is very important to develop this kind of toilet about 50 to 100 feet away from the cabin.

Furniture You can place rustic furniture in your own cabin. It will give the home like appearance to your comment.

Emergency entrance After a long journey in the cold when you arrive your cabin without the key I think you can't control yourself. This is the solution of your weakness dear. Through this system you will find relief.

Providing sun light You should provide skylight on the ceiling to light up your cabin on a gloomy day. The other advantage is that this system will expel the hot air.

SHRUBS, TREES AND REFORESTATION Make woodland as you want. It is not a difficult task. Let them grow naturally. It is the right time to plant them. one or two-year-old seedlings are relatively cheap.

Bird's tune around your cabin If you inspire the birds they will sing for you. You can get rid of your monotony by hearing the bird's song and the birds are ready to serve you if you house them and feed every day.

Fences and gates Once you shut the gate after passing through it, you are alone in your cabin. You completely save after closing the gate. No-one can disturb you suddenly.

Neighbors It is very difficult for you to live without a friend. It is nature which is the only one place in universe that produces friendliness.
