How did not give nuts, or they were of very poor quality, I thought it would be much more useful transformed into planks. My ground had a chestnut tree whose diameter at the base of the trunk, was over 30 cm. The brown is the most durable woods that exist, which can not be said that the pine walls were made. What it guarantees is that it was made with chestnut wood and being sheltered by the small porch roof. The door of my log cabin will, for sure, last well beyond the walls. In my opinion it is unthinkable to run a project these without peeling logs because the shell will serve as a shelter for parasites of the wood and prevent the application of a preservative product that will inevitably shorten the rotting.

The pines are not very easy to peel and are always some skin debris clinging to the trunk and then those brown patches that they were. Having already assembled a number of trunks that thought enough to build the hut, I started to peel her. The only drawback seems to me the fact that cracking with some ease, but I think this can be avoided in part if the trees are cut at the right time and are not exposed to the sun for drying.
In addition, the eucalyptus, the lean, is very durable and even may waive any type of product to conservation. The experience I got the notion that eucalyptus logs are best for this type of work, because it peels easily without getting in shell waste and are very easy to work in green, as well as meet trunks of eucalyptus and rights. Most trunks are utilized pine, but the cabin also has the eucalyptus mix boards from a chestnut and some Carvalhas, the latter very little suitable for the job because of the irregularity of the logs. The low cost of construction that included, naturally, do all the work with his own hands, was an essential goal and so could not acquire other trees or logs, but anyone thinking of doing a similar construction will be better to take precautions with a stock of large logs in quantity and quality.
For transport is essential to my moto-hoe which has in fact been an indispensable equipment in the performance of my home projects. Because of this it was very difficult to extract and transport to the construction site. The trees had available were not many, were in an area of difficult access, which was overrun by brambles.

To better understand how to build my log cabin, please watch the videos. The photo shows the final look of the cabin and in the background, other interesting household tasks that show on Instructables future. The difficulties were eventually overcome, but the cabin had to be smaller than initially anticipated. Later, during installation, I even thought it was a mistake to opt for that type of construction without trunks in sufficient quantity and quality. This forced an increased amount of work in the settlement and preparation of logs, because they necessarily have to be straight with two faces that are not left with very large spaces between them to cover.
It was the case of this construction, because the trees used, mostly, were very crooked trunks and had diameters ranging between ten and twenty-five centimeters.
For good build a log house, or even to a small cottage as is the case treated in this article, it is essential to have a stock of good quality logs, or at least they're all about the size and rights, and of all the convenience that its diameter is not less than 15 cm.
