Installing the last row.
As you can see, the last long row hangs over the porch. This is required
so that we can put a roof over the porch. |
First gable end row.
Each gable end row must be cut to length to accomdate for the pitch. |
A look from above. |
Marking for purlins.
We cut openings for the purlins so that they pass through the gabels
and provide a nice finish. |

Gable view of purlin.
Note the over hang. We use 6" for over hang. |

Installing the decking.
We install the decking with screws since we were going to dismantle
the cabin; however, 20 penny galvanized nails should be used. |
Porch supports.
Porch supports are put in place under each purlin. |
Angle cuts for the roofing.
|
Installing the roofing.
We use the same kind 2x6 Tongue and Groove for the ceiling/roof that
we used on the flooring. |
Roof is just about completed.

A view of the Ceiling.
By using 2x6 Tongue and Groove on the roof, the ceiling of the cabin
is also complete! |
Cutting the log over the door opening.
We have to cut a couple inches of the log over the door opening to
install the pre-hung door. |
Door is in! |
Cutting the logs for the windows.
The logs below the windows must be cut a couple inches so the windows
will fit. |

Porch detail supports.
Adding angle supports for the porch. |
Trimming up the roof.
We use 1x4 boards for trimming around the roof of the cabin. Drip
edging would be applied to this if shingles are added. We did not
put shingles on this model since we were only constructing it for
pictures. |
Nice, clean lines! |

Moving the cabin outside.
We decided to move the cabin out of the building for pictures and
as a model display for a few weeks. |
Leaving the building. |
Moving the cabin. |
Completed cabin.
This model remained outside for a few weeks before we took it apart
and sold it as a pre-cut kit. |
