Building a log cabin in Bethesda, near Bangor, Wales

Another busy month for log cabin building at Cabin Living so time for a few updates.

Here we have a Luton 4 x 3m log cabin with a verandah from start to finish. The weather was a little testing at times but as you will see it doesn't always rain in Wales!





Fortunately in this instance the ballast delivery was dropped over the back wall right next to the base even though it was on a narrow hill lane and over a 10 foot slate wall. All credit to the Travis Perkins delivery driver! The rain however wasn't so accommodating and just kept on falling, as they will no doubt find out in the Ryder cup first round today.



Delivery arrives and time to move the timber to the base.



The cabin build well under way on day two and the weather starts to show signs of improvement.


Yes, that is blue sky... every log cabin fitters favourite sight!


Almost up to roof height.




A view of the hills in the sun, and nearly time for the roof joist to be fitted.


Roof joists in place which extend out to about 1 metre beyond the front wall on the Luton log cabin creating quite a large canopied area fro the verandah.

Verandah and the cabin complete




Finished just before the next big downpour!

You too could have an extra living space in your garden in just three days. Why not get in touch for your own garden office or cabin living room
