Figure 49.—Floor plan for a four-room log residence with somewhat different orientation than that shown in [figure 48].
Before undertaking construction it may be desirable to consult an architect or competent builder to make sure that (1) your desires are satisfied with respect to the necessary accommodations; (2) rules and regulations enforced by local authorities will be observed; and (3) provisions are made for installing telephone, electricity, water, and plumbing facilities. Failure to take these precautions may necessitate costly changes after construction has begun.
Plans for suitable four-room log residences are given in figures [48] and [49], and for a five-room structure in [figure 50]. Figure [51] shows the layout of a United States Forest Service two-room guard cabin adaptable for summer residence use.
