A timber frame cabin memoir

[caver]

JJT,

They have options if engineered drawings are needed but not required in my build area. Since my previous response my project contact at Legacy sent this photo he found online which just shows two top plates with no header. He suggested I give him a call today which I will and hash it out.

No expert here , been enjoying thread . Dabble in T frameing for years . Always been an interest of mine . Have a good arsenal of Barr and Robert Sorly tools [chisels , slicks , draw knifes ] etc . Anybody lookin to get a good draw knife on the cheap Geodore OX makes good ones from Germany. They make the larger STIHL axes and mauls and STIHL just rebrands them with there colors . Thanks for starting thread . Keep it a coming ! ....

A ten foot basement, ok 8'9", sounds great!

The short bolts on the sills in the drawing make me wonder what the tornado specifications are for your area. (Having lived places with tornados, wind, and earthquakes, I prefer to go a little on the cautious side during construction as the marginal cost is usually close to zero in the big picture.)

How is the drainage on your site?

Looking forward to the progress!

All the best,

I’ve seen Avrame and MADi, both of which I like but have more of a sleek polished finished than I like. I much prefer the unfinished wood aesthetic and don’t need a premium finish or price. Is there anyone over here offering kits like that? Or any tips on searching for them? Also, I like the looks of these Cabins. They say they can be made fully residential with building reg friendly options. Any thoughts? Anyone used anything similar? i appreciate that while the building itself appears fairly reasonable costs will soon mount up with installation if needed, fitting out with electrics, plumbing, connecting services etc. But are these viable options? Am I barking up the wrong tree/timber build?

Where do you want to build it?
