Looking for Cheap Housing? Why not use a Log Cabin

With housing prices a deterrent for many new buyers, why not consider one of these fantastic residential log cabins as an alternative to a bricks and mortar home. At the low price of only £18,999 including vat, it's a price that cannot be beaten. Extras include roofing for £940 and delivery costs.

This attractive building has many interesting features including an upstairs balcony leading from the bedroom and a large living room and kitchen area. With thick 68mm timber wall construction, the building will be naturally wind-tight and insulated from the elements. With 85 square metres of living space, this cabin is larger than many first-time buyer flats and apartments so is well worth considering as a starter home or as extra living accommodation for guests or visitors. Some people even use the building as business premises.

Many older homes belonging to parents or other relatives have large gardens with ample space for an extra building and what better gift to a son or daughter trying to carve their way in life, than to offer up this space for their first home. Obviously the relevant planning permission would need to be obtained in advance, however on the basis this is acceptable, then a new home for this price is almost unheard of.

Why Do Men Buy Sheds?

It's an interesting fact that nearly all our shed buying customers are men - why is this and why don't women buy sheds? Is it that men consider their garden shed as their safe haven for escaping to when the list of household chores becomes too long? Or is it a throwback to childhood dens and camps that's the attraction?

Many men spend several happy hours away from the house wiling away the time in their shed, but to the uninitiated, how many things can there possibly be to do in a shed? It's fair to say that most sheds are immaculately tidy, so clearly, an awful lot of time is spent housekeeping to maintain this highly organised environment and then of course, there's the continual requirement to oil, grease and generally lubricate and clean tools to keep them in tip top condition. Aside from this, we can only assume that the humble garden shed is a portal to another world, transporting the shed-loving man to far away heavenly kingdoms similar to The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe. Maybe the garden shed is a Tardis, taking the man to other galaxies with unusual lifeforms.

One interesting snippet of information that may conclude this matter - a exceptionally large proportion of sheds are purchased by men with pregnant wives.....need I say more!
