I built this cabin in 1988. Cypress logs.

Beautiful house

I think you priced it too cheap. Going to make someone a nice home.

I don't own it any more, I sold it in 1995.

Very nice!!

Pretty sure I remember crossfireoops being very rude to you and insinuating that you didnt know jack shît about about cabins and building.


I’ve never agreed with his assessment.

Nice, very nice

Nice design! I like it.

Super cool, I dig it

I’ve always wondered what the light colored creamy stuff is between the logs?

Lovely cabin, beautifully built!

Meh....





Just kidding, that is nice!

The chinking is a mix of portland cement, sand, and red clay.. Thus it looks like the red clay used by the pioneers. In the middle, is 4 inches of foam insulation, and the red clay chinking on the outside, and inside, is just 1/2 inch thick. We get the look of the pioneers, combined with insulation of R16 which exceeds the Georgia building code.

Beautiful building. Far too many neighbors for my taste. I've got 160 acres you can build your next one on here.

In my part of Colorado that would bring a million bucks or more

You sir are an artiest. Very talented.

Nice cabin!

Looks more house than cabin.
How many sf?

It’s nice!

Nice work!

Nope. Me either. And I don't believe that's the only one he's built, if I remember correctly.

Beautiful home.

Very nice

a 7000 sq ft one sold next to me a few years ago on 9 acres of land for 599,000.00

Beautiful cabin you built

And only got $136,500 for it? What have they changed on it since? Looks like it was bought in '17 for 250k

The demographics, and the web. Over the last 25 plus years Atlanta has exploded in size, and while this lakefront property would once have been considered way out in the country, the area has become a haven for people getting away from the city, either permanently or for the weekends and they can work remotely while doing it.

This is lovely. Very nice.

An interesting thing happened. If you looked at and touched the chinking, you might think it was solid mortar, 5 inches thick. Mortar is like R=0, and the cold would run right through it. It does get down to 20 degrees there, and that cold wind blows across Lake Sinclair. So it appears that there is chinking that would freeze you out all winter. However as y'all know, there is four inches of solid foam in the middle of the chinking crack, airtight foam, which is in fact R16 and exceeds the Ga. building code for wall insulation. The mortar chinking is in fact only 1/2 inch thick, a half inch of red clay mortar on the inside and outside, just for looks because the actual chinking is foam.

The problem is, these home inspector guys in central Ga. don't know anything about log cabins. The new buyer has his home inspector telling him that "poorly done" chinking is going to freeze him, and recommends that the buyer install storm doors and windows. And the guy I sold it to paid thousands to install storm doors and windows.

Home inspector, highly paid "Mr. Know It All."

Even worse, the home inspector, now not the county guy, but the private guy hired by the new buyer, looks up at the cathedral ceiling in the living room. He sees yellow pine 4x8 rafters, decked with yellow pine 2x6s. Beautiful, right? But the home inspector, in his ignorance, figures that no attic means no ceiling insulation. So he tells the buyer that there is no ceiling insulation and he is going to freeze. So the third guy who owned the house installed, in the upstairs bedroom ceiling, 6 inches of foam insulation and put sheet rock over it!

The home inspector is a dumb ass! This house has a "double roof." We put up the rafters, we decked that with 2x6s. Then above that we ran a second set of rafters, 2x8s, 24 inches on center, running from the ridge to the eave. In between these rafters, laying right on top of the ceiling decking, I installed 6 inches of high density foam. R 6 to the inch, the house in fact has R36 ceiling insulation which exceeds the Ga. code. And in fact there is a 1 and 1/2 inch air space above the foam , with eave intake vents, and the ridge vent, which provides ventilation. This roof is insulated and ventilated.

Mr. Know It All building inspector got the home owner to shell out thousands to install insulation in the upstairs bedroom ceiling, you now have R60 up there.

I talked to the owner four years ago and explained to him that the chinking, and the roof were insulated. He did remove the storm windows and doors that the previous owner installed, thank God the storm door and windows looked terrible.

The blizzard of '93. Two inches of snow. I brought in 15 tons of rock from Tennessee and I tried my hand at masonry, I built the cinder block and rock foundation, and the front porch.

"Home Inspectors"
The most self important dum-basses on earth.

Yeah, my buddy just lost his leased hunting land, about 100 acres about an hour south of Atl, some Atlanta guy bought it to come down on the weekends to ride four wheelers, they are already tearing the roads up.

Someone should jump on this!
