The first Honest Abe Living interactive magazine of the new decade is now available online at Honest Abe Living.

In the January 2020 issue you’ll read an interview and peruse a photo gallery of a new, custom log cabin. Fulfilling a 30-year dream, the featured Tennessee couple downsized from their conventional home to an Honest Abe log cabin they designed and finished themselves. Their Home is featured in the most recent issue of Log Cabin Homes.
Another story tells how you can spend your Smoky Mountain vacation in an Honest Abe log cabin created to replace a Gatlinburg retreat destroyed by the 2016 firestorm.
 
In this issue we reacquaint you with our design team, which has a combined 75+ years in drafting plans of customers’ design concepts and developing innovative new floor plans for our catalog.
You can browse a gallery of photos and read about how a new homeowner worked with Honest Abe to create an award-winning log-timber frame hybrid from an original sketch. This home is presented in an upcoming issue of Log & Timber Home Living.
 
This month’s featured floor plan is the Gibson, an affordable mid-sized home plan that can expanded later.
Our monthly tip encourages log and timber frame homeowners to consider implementing rain barrels for collecting rainwater runoff, providing a free water source and protecting foundation areas.
