Building A Hunting Cabin

The article is addressed to those interested in building a hunting cabin, either on their own or with the help of a professional contractor.

Texas, TX (prHWY.com) March 14, 2013 - Constructing a hunting cabin is a little bit different than building an entire new house taking into consideration that for a hunting cabin you won't need all the amenities you usually have in a regular home. However, some do prefer to have their cabins fully equipped so it's better to know from start what sort of features you want. Needless to say, the more features you want, the more it will cost you.
Searching for a hunting cabin design is not that hard to do as it would seem upon first glance. You can easily find some plans on the Internet upon a quick search and many of these are free of charge. For something a bit more elaborate, you will have to invest some money. It is advisable to contact a draftsperson or an architect to talk about your ideas and see if they can come up with a customized plan which matches your requirements.
When it comes down to actually building these hunting cabins, it depends on the design you have chosen and the types of materials you plan on using. Some of them are started off with a solid slab foundation while others are built on stilts or are timber-framed. In comparison to the usual framed cabins, log cabins have to be manufactured by using special techniques. If you plan on adding electricity and plumbing, the entire process will be pricier as well as more difficult to accomplish.
For the interior, there are a lot of choices to take into account depending on what you want, whether it's a fireplace, a woodstove, electric oven or even granite counters. Regardless of your preferences, the hunting cabin will be as good as the planning you did prior to starting the construction.
One safe way to go is to opt for a contractor that can build your hunting cabin - they will know what has to be done in terms of construction and also will take into consideration your personal preferences for the floor plan and the finishes. These contractors usually provide cabins built by using 2x4s on 16" centers and are extremely well insulated so you can be certain that they are energy efficient. Sizes and materials do vary from one contractor to the other.
If you have decided to go with a contractor, it is best to choose one which will deliver a move-in ready cabin that can be connected right away to the utilities. If you want a hunting cabin, take into account that it will be left empty for a significant amount of time so you will have to take the necessary precautions like sealing off the chimneys in the winter season, as well as evacuating the water from the pipes.
One golden rule is to check the hunting cabin thoroughly because small damages occurred after a storm or caused by rodents can be quite expensive if not fixed right away. During the construction, don't rush with the process because you will probably end up with an unreliable construction. Better yet, opt for a contractor which knows all the necessary steps that have to be taken.
