There have been massive constructions of log homes in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.
Because logs are durable, there is no need to cover the exterior of a log house with shingles or clapboards or to smooth over the interior with plaster or wallboard.
However, if you have any doubts or live in a conservation area or a listed building, you should contact your local planning office.
More and more log cabins are being built as a permanent dwelling for many people.
There are also a lot of luxury cabin homes that were constructed. During the middle of 1980, around 15,000 log cabins/houses were sold every year.
Gone are the times when log cabins were found with dirt floors and no facilities. Nowadays, they are as good as your own home.
Initially, log cabins were built by travelers to stay en route. They were not meant to be permanent dwellings.
There is a huge difference in the price and the quality of log homes, and you need to know the difference before you buy.
Building your own log cabin is definitely the more money efficient way to go.
Most log cabins before were built with logs horizontally laid and connected at the ends with notches. Some use nails instead of notches, but the latter is still better.
Log cabins have been around for thousands of years. They are commonly associated with the United States of America and remain popular in today's modern world.
