Have to sell this beautiful cabin. Only up for 4 weeks, then told to take it down, Land not suitable for occupancy.
It was my dream to have a cabin on the land with my babbling brook. Such a sad situation. Hopefully somebody else will see the possibilities.

Before you buy and assemble this, make sure about your zoning and permits. Where we live, anything 12-feet on any side has to be permitted. This cabin is 17’8″ x 12’5″, so we would need a permit and inspections of some sort.
The Allwood website says;
…it is solely your responsibility to determine whether or not you will need a building permit and what the requirements are to meet local codes or other rules that apply in your locality. You can contact your local building code authorities for such information and hire a local licensed engineer for assistance. Laws, ordinances, regulations, restrictions, covenants, and other codes or rules that apply to sheds, storage buildings or other outdoor structures vary from state to state and from county to county. Moreover, these codes or rules are also subject to change. Please confirm that the product will meet the local building codes and regulations PRIOR TO MAKING A PURCHASE.

The walls are built of 1-3/4″ tongue and groove spruce logs.
Allwood WindBlock Tongue and Groove Spruce Logs
This is what the logs look like. They don’t need chinking like my log cabin had. WindBlock Tongue and Groove Spruce Logs fit together tightly so wind doesn’t blow through.
The logs do not come finished with paint or stain. The Allwood website say;
You must paint or treat your item soon after it is assembled in order for the warranty to apply. Paint or stain will help to protect your new building against the weather conditions. Three coats of stain or two coats of paint are best.

The cabin comes with all of the instructions to build this exact cabin. Even if you want to use the materials to build something different (smaller, that doesn’t need permits and inspections), this is still a good deal.
Certain models can be modified depending on the factory. Modifications do not extend to square footage or shape, but pertain to windows, doors and interior room size… Smaller cabins cannot be modified at all by the factories under any circumstances.
If this is yours, you can do whatever you want to with it.
