TOPIC: Log cabin template

Hello:

I'm looking for a log cabin template. Anyone?

Thank you.

Kenton Sheppard has some good log cabin narratives in his INTERNACHI Narratives. I haven't seen anyone share a log cabin template here unfortunately. I think most use their normal residential template.

I just did a 4800 sq ft true log home last week. I use my normal template for any log home. 99% of the inspection is the same. It is just another form of construction with certain unique features. You do need to know what you are doing when it comes to log home construction. Unlike other types of exterior cladding / siding, it will take additional time. You can't treat logs like a wall covered with Hardie plank where you can just scan the whole wall with a single glance. A proper inspection will have you look at each individual log for possible wdo, rot, checking and cracking and the position on the log.
