This can easily lead to rot and insect infestation.

In the past log cabins were never intended as permanent dwellings and as time passed they were often converted into out buildings for coops, animal shelter or other utilitarian uses.

There was a time in the 1800’s when log cabins were very basic and very cheap, but in today’s world log cabin prices can be a bit expensive.

One of the enduring symbols of American history is the log cabin.
