5. Be smart! Plan your space use ahead of time!
   LeaRae Keyes
   When you're planning your cabin be sure to plan in furniture arrangements. It's one thing to abstractly think a space 10 feet by 10 feet will be large enough for a family gathering area. However, when you consider how you want to furnish the space, the traffic flow and window placements, will the size and shape of the room still work? . . . Keep reading

12. Cabin Plumbing and Rainwater Flushing Systems
    Lisa Richardson
    Cabin plumbing is notorious for giving cabin dwellers a headache! If you're not on the grid, you are pretty much out of luck. Tired of your outdated outhouse? For the rustic cabin owner, that may not be as good as it gets. Rainwater flushing systems are becoming easier to understand and less expensive. While not for everybody, in many regions rainwater flushing systems can mean indoor plumbing (at least a toilet!) for those cabin dwellers who have given up some modern luxuries. . . .

15. Save Energy By Re-Caulking Your Log Cabin
    Brian Reed
    When your cabin was originally built, you probably had it caulked by a professional to seal up the air losses in your walls and windows. However, over time, that caulk can dry out, leaving a possible area where energy can get out, and rain and insects can get in. It is in your best interests to update the caulk on your cabin every 7-10 years or so. . . . Keep reading
    
    
16. Cabin Energy - Go Solar!
    Lisa Richardson
    Solar power is nothing if not the friend of the intrepid cabin owner. If your cabin is not wired to the grid, the days are gone that you have to rely on batteries alone. There are a number of wonderful solar options to help you with cabin energy. It's important for you to see where you are going in the dark, but cabin energy is important for so many more reasons! . . . Keep reading
    
    
17. Invest in a Solar System to Power Your Cabin
    Brian Reed
    Unfortunately, one of the biggest problems with building a cabin in the middle of the woods is that the cabin's power is hard to get, at best. Even if you are able to bring power to your cabin, you'll still face the fact that it's unreliable. If you build your own solar panels, you'll save quite a bit of money on power, as well as be able to tap into a reliable source of power that you can use. . . . Keep reading
    
    
18. Using Antiques in Your Cabin
    Joan Roelke
    You've been gifted with your Aunt Jean's antiques and want to use them in your cabin, however, you're unsure as to how. Get creative. There are two ways to make an impact when using antiques in interior cabin planning. You can integrate them throughout your cabin, or decorate a single room in antiques. For example, an antique bed can be covered with a very old quilt. An antique stove can become the highlight of your kitchen and be accented with smaller antiques. . . . Keep reading

    Brian Reed

20. Leverage your cabin stay into a weight-loss tool
    Cynthia Leslie
    You know you should lose some weight. You've tried some diets and weight-loss techniques, but you always end up giving in to temptation because -- if you're like most people in advanced societies -- hamburgers, French fries, milkshakes, cookies, candy, and ice cream are just minutes away from where you live. Here's a thought: the next time you're at your cabin for an extended stay (a couple of weeks or more), use the cabin's remote location as a weight-loss "tool." . . . Keep reading
