  • Heres a tour of cabins from WWW.LancasterLogCabins.com
    We go thru some display models checking the lay outs and features. A very hard decision between a two bedroom or bunk room. Lots of projects in the works at the farm!! Is Agro-tourism a viable option? Rotational cattle grazing? Cabin rentals? Crop fields? Fishing Derby? Hunting preserve?

    I love the Lakeview model. Would make the perfect tiny house for me. Leave out the bunk beds and put a window in that area to use as an office, craft area andmaybe a small stackable washer/dryer. Leave out all the built in furniture too.

    We stayed in a model like the third model at a KOA when our two youngest were under ten. It was very comfortable and we heard nothing outside from other campers. It was a nice stay. It was very comfortable.

    So I'm in Ohio. 7 years ago we bought a log cabin shell from an Amish log cabin maker that's local here. We put it on a foundation on the property in Southern Ohio. It showed up pre built and was slid on the foundation. Its a 1 bedroom with a loft. We love it. What I don't love are wood bees.. So keep that in mind when your buying one and have a plan in place. Because twice a year they want to dig holes in your cabin and if you don't fill them next season they will just dig it deeper. I liked the idea of a shell because then I could put in what worked best for us. I'm not a fan of anything on wheels so I wanted a foundation. You are correct the yearly taxes for that lot of 7 acres went from 72 dollars a year to 647. All things to think about. Good luck on your journey.

    If your ball bearings are falling out you are buying cheap sliders. Good quality 100-pound capacity sliders are the way to go, forget wood! Have used quality soft close sliders for 40 years and never had a failure much less bearings coming out.

    Yeah those side mount drawer sliders don't hold up well. The undermount ones are much better, especially if it's DTC, which is a brand, but even then, they tend to give out after about 5-7 years. I was QC lead for a cabinet company and was handling the replacement orders.

    As of 20:50 I've seen a lot of these bunk beds in quite a few videos. If you have 2 kids how long is that going to work ? And a lot of these places have little to no closet space so you may need that loft for storage. And what you store may also function as insulation.

    • @oxford821

      The log construction is the installation I believe. Any park model cabin/trailer’s water lines will freeze in the winter. You would need proper skirting around the bottom and electric heating pads placed under it to prevent freezing.

    • @oxford821
      @oxford821  10 місяців тому

      Well, I think it would depend on the area, local attractions, amenities at location, and a bunch of other factors. Renting out per day, weekends and weekly is definitely on the table. We have a bunch of stuff here and in the area. I would block out hunting seasons unless I rented out the place to hunters. I would keep the rental fee as high as possible, not to take people for their money but to hopefully eliminate renters that may be problematic.

    The Ones with Lofts.... Why Don't the Manufactures offer a option to Raise the Loft so that we can have a Full Second Floor? Either Raise it Mechanically or Electrically. Either put the Wall sections you need to add, in the loft or Unfold as it raises... Solid Walls of coarse. Electrical for ceiling lights could plug in to a socket in the lower section and a Interior wall so the room could actually be a room.
    I would like a Park Model that has a Loft but also would actually want a Second Bedroom/Hobby Room/Guest Room and Not a Crawl Space. I am Too F'n Old, Fat and Out of Shape to be crawling around on the floor.

Seen Some people Stupid enough to pay 250K for a 12x32 and a Actual House would have been Half that.. then they permanently set it up on their Parents Property...

    Nobody makes a complete hardwood cabinet on the inside and outside !! Have a tiny house custom made ! If so, ask to have ceiling fan dropped a foot or 2 down and get a better one with longer blades, that will make a huge difference in cooling !!! Short blade ceiling fans are only good for small rooms. Be sure to check your state, county and local regulations before buying a tiny house !!! Regulations have changed over the years !! Don't assume nothing !

    That company is cheap as hell. You can tell in almost every detail of that thing. Why do they put a fan in a room when they should put another split? Cheap.

    I'd hate to know I was so miserable with who I was that I'd post a video of complaining for the world to see. Wow. Some people just amaze me at the way the art. So glad I'm not you. Life's to short to be this way. Yall are meant for eachother. Misery loves company

      I flunked acting school. I checked your channel so I could learn from your videos….. but zero content, of course.

      I actually didn't take it that way. I just saw this as a couple shopping and comparing what they saw, with what their needs would be. Completely normal to me! Men always see the building pros/cons; that's a good thing. Women normally see functional things like the kitchen, and bedroom pros/cons. They both saw wasted space in the bath (as did I). Since they were physically there, they easily spoke of the pros/cons of the fans and AC. They both bragged on the Mini Split.
