Here’s the side view of this owner-built cabin showing the framed addition.
The cabin porch faces the lake. This photo shows what would be the entrance view that the homeowner would see upon arriving home. All visitors could choose whether to go to the kitchen porch ’round back, or the cabin porch with it’s porch swing… but either choice would ensure a view of the chimney and the log cabin to greet them as they entered.
There would be many cost savings measures taken to keep this cabin on budget… the chimney would be stone veneer, the wood work inside would all be new pine, the cabinets were pre-made units, the bathrooms featured the basic minimum, etc… but these cuts and some sweat equity by the owner allowed him to have his dream come true!
