It all started with a dream. My husband's dream to build a vintage log cabin from the ground up, all by himself. We began dating shortly after he had purchased land in South Carolina and started envisioning a log cabin there. His construction plans quickly included me as we proceeded to get married and move our lives from the beaches of South Florida to a different
Once the logs were neatly set in piles on our ground and the delivery guys had left, we were there, all alone with these HEAVY logs. Even my little dog, Madison, wasn't so sure of this.
Each log was tagged with a wall side A,B,C or D and a row number 1, 2, 3 - 9. Now what? I can kindof see how this is going to work, but not really. With a lot of
We dug shallow squares into the ground, built wood frames to fit the squares so that we could pour concrete into them to make pads for each pillar. We decided that if we filled the bottoms of the holes with the small rocks that had been dug up it would take less concrete to fill each form for the pads.
With that done, we poured the concrete, stacked the first row of cinder blocks, reinforced them with steel rods, stacked the remaining rows of blocks needed to make things level and filled them with concrete. Now we had 9 pillars! We've actually started this and not without mistakes on the first weekend either. You'll probably notice that some of the pads were put in the wrong place the first time and had to be redug, reframed and more concrete poured to fix them.
The next step was to add the top block to each pillar and secure it with concrete. We put additional threaded rods through this block in order to have a way to attach the wood foundation frame to the pillars.
Well, there you have it. The foundation! Yay! I can start to see it now, maybe!?!? If only I knew then how many more weekends would be spent like this. It was exactly how I had always pictured my life as a newlywed. Note the sarcasm there:)
I'm so glad you stopped by and I pray you have a blessed day,
to be continued next week...
Adina

ReplyDeleteWow! My girlfriend just showed me photos of her dream cabin she is going to build. She wants to have land for her horse instead of paying for boarding, and she's always wanted a cabin. I <3 them too. You did a great job of photographing the project! It's gorgeous! Pinned to share:) Happy Holidays
ReplyDeleteThis is so amazing to me, I am almost in shock. So often I think, but I don't know how. You've shown me it can be done. What a glorious piece of land and homey and wonderful log cabin, You two are to be congratulated!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a lot of work and there were many days that I thought we'd never finish it. Now looking back it didn't seem so bad, but at the time it seemed to take FOREVER. I would dream of rocking on the porch or curling up in front of the fireplace while we were building and now we can!
DeleteNice work you guys this is the way I'm going with my foundation also,thanks for sharing .
ReplyDeleteThis beach girl was now newly married at 33, living in the middle of nowhere, away from family, friends and anything I had always considered home. I jumped on board half-heartedly with this plan to build a caחוזה עם קבלן שלדbin.
ReplyDeleteIt was another wonderful read and experience Adina. The DIY vintage log cabin you made with your husband looks indeed awesome. I like the beauties surrounding your cabin. The natural allurements made me so crazy and felt better after the end of your log cabin details. Here I also would like to recommend Sacramento Concrete Contractor for getting all types of concrete job, like concrete foundations, stamped concrete, stained concrete, concrete walkways, concrete stairs, concrete walkways, concrete walls and so on. They are really renowned for in the Sacramento area for their skilled and professional services.
