Delayed third video for our "vlogmas". It's been a crazy few weeks at work winding down for the holidays and the weather hasn't helped either. But better late then never? See you all a little later this week for the big pop culture holiday build!!! it's a good one! Happy Holidays everyone and stay warm!
Huh what a coincidence... I happen to be Finnish and I just learned like yesterday that the oldest still standing log cabin in the US was made by Finnish settlers in 1600s. I spent my holidays in a log house originally built in the 1800s (it was disassembled at some point and I helped to rebuild it when I was a teenager) and watched some Finnish videos about building log cabins and now you post this. :D
It's a incredibly flexible economical design, which allows one to have a atypical experience of inside\outside, similar to more expensive homes with inner courtyards, like North African courtyard houses or Spanish courtyard houses.
If I won a lotto, I'd build a dogtrot house with a 3 season porch on the north side to ease heating bills & a partially screened southern porch to use without getting eaten alive by bugs. They're fantastic for letting breezes through & keeping the cooling bills down when it's nice enough to open up the house. Breezes moving through shady areas are much more effective than not.

My favorite American house. I hope someone can truly modernize them for larger families.

It's such an iconic build! I never knew it had a name, thank you so much for breaking it down 🌻

I would live in one
