The mailbox still stands out front, but this cabin has long been abandoned as a home.
She looks a bit sad doesn’t she?
Nobody wants her.
🙁

A log home… with a porch and a metal roof.
Nothing here to impress the neighbors.
But it feels like home.

Here’s another three section log home to go with the one posted yesterday.
This house has great definition between the three sections thanks to the middle section being recessed.
But like the other log house she is in need of a stone chimney or two… and porches… where are the porches?… gotta have porches!

What a nice log house!
This home is a great example of how a large home can be made from two smaller log cabins. I especially like the addition of the central sided area which provides visual contrast as well as extra living space… a different “feel” has been created inside and out, and, at a reduced price per square foot than the log sections.
And, who doesn’t love that long porch?
If I had designed and built this home I would have made three changes, that I feel would have made this home perfect…
The home lacks the presentation of an exterior stone chimney, something we have come to expect to see on a log home… I would have placed one on the log section to the left in this image.
I would have also added more windows, one on each side of that added chimney… on both floors… and two more windows added on the framed section, above the porch roof.
And finally, I wouldn’t have aligned these three sections of the home so flush with each other on this side of the home. By stepping back each section a couple of feet this home would have developed much more character… more depth… and then each section would have not only blended with each other, but would have been appreciated for it’s uniqueness.

A cute little log cabin with some extra bracing to support the roof overhangs. I suppose this is a northern (perhaps Canadian?) cabin.

Log walls are special, whether you are inside of them, or outside.

It’s a great question… and today, I’m not going to try to answer it.
But rather, I’d just like you to take a moment and look at this photo and contemplate for yourself on how living in a place like this would affect you. Would your life be better?… Enough so that having a place like this should become a goal to have, rather than just a daydream?
I heard it said the other day that “a goal without a date is just a wish”.
And we know that to be true… if we aren’t putting out some effort towards getting something it will likely never happen and then one day we will find ourselves living with the regret of never having tried.
So maybe, make this coming year the time where you will make the first small steps towards having a handmade home of your own. I’m working a little video now that I hope to release soon (free) that will give you a dozen or so inexpensive steps that you can take that will get you far enough down the path towards having a place like this that you will find yourself living in that cabin before you know it!
