I was planning to build a house for myself and decided to try Larry's that way I could guage whether I would use him for my clients. I received a flyer in advertising Larry's Home Design. It can be difficult to find someone who can draw prints for both styles. "In my line of work I build both log and conventional homes.
"Thank you! Received the plans yesterday. That design instantly becomes the finished ceiling for the first floor, and the finished floor for the second floor. Most log cabins have exposed, timber style floor joists with only 2 x 6 floorboards on top of that. Why is that so critical in your design? Well, all bathrooms have plumbing coming down through the floor system. Plumbing Challenges I think I can safely say the vast majority of log cabin floor plans have at least one bathroom upstairs. log homes floor plans with huge open spaces do not allow for anything else except manufactured beams for the necessary support. The end result is a warm, natural looking, beam that has much more strength than a heavy timber cut straight from a tree. Any pre-engineered, manufactured beam can easily be finished off with natural pine boards to totally hide the beam itself. Structural Solutions Now before any of you die-hard traditionalists start screaming at me and sending hate mail, let me explain. In those certain cases using a pre-engineered, manufactured beam makes a lot of sense. For example, if a certain design calls for a large roof span then it might be completely impractical to use a heavy timber. There are exceptions to the rule, but they are usually few and far between.
