The sort of thing I love about choosing a wood burning stove for cabin heating is the surprising number of factors that go beyond just creating a cozy atmosphere. Most wood stoves will set you back $2,000 to $4,000. You’ll need to budget extra for installation and venting too. Keep in mind these costs before making such a…

Your log cabin winter preparation plan needs to be solid. Cold temperatures will damage an unprotected cabin through rot, drafts, and pest infestations that can get pricey. I own a cabin and learned that wood stays protected when you maintain 50 degrees. This prevents damage from humidity and temperature changes that make wood expand and contract. Log rot stays…
Building a log cabin won’t break your bank if you do it yourself. Our small home cost roughly $3000 to build because we used trees from our forest that needed thinning. Professional contractors would have charged over $1,000 just to roof the structure, but we finished everything ourselves using simple tools and determination. The log cabin’s construction challenged our…
Most people wonder about antique furniture and how it is different from other older pieces. These terms often get mixed up, but a clear difference exists.
