If you are going to invest in a cabin, why not get exactly what you want? When you choose the right cabin builder, you can come pretty close. Choosing between cabin designs or running dry on creative ideas for your cabin making project? Check out these cabin design ideas and get started on making your dream cabin a reality! Cottage style cabin Not all cabins are created equal –that being said, you can find the perfect cabin for your taste with a little bit of hard work and determination. One style that’s growing in popularity is the cottage style cabin. Cottage style cabins are all about keeping things vintage. Builders use various different techniques to achieve this look. Cottages aren’t so different from traditional cabins. It’s all about the aesthetic and investing in the kind of cabin that you want to look at every day of your dream vacation. Cottages fit in particularly well in eastern shoreline destinations, but can also blend in with any cabin community across the country. Cabin tree columns Looking to add the charms of nature to your cabin home? Why not use tree columns in place of regular columns in your cabin to add character as well as support? These columns can be man-made or just bare trees taken from nature. You’ll want to put some time into thinking about the species of the tree and gather information about how these natural tree columns are made. They’re perfect for the back-to-nature vibe. Add a deck Cabins make a great destination for summer getaways. But trips to the woods and mountains are beautiful not only for their solitude but for the natural beauty they provide readily at hand. Adding a deck to your cabin can be a great way to be outdoors while also allowing you to enjoy the comfort and coziness of your log cabin. If you are one for visiting your cabin in the winter, then make use of your deck to enjoy the winter snows by adding deck heaters. There’s no reason wintertime should put a damper on your deck activities! The reclaimed look One cabin design trend that’s really growing in popularity is the vintage, reclaimed wood look. Some companies, including one in Eastern Texas, specialize in reclaimed wood and building projects. Reclaimed wood isn’t as expensive as it once was so if you’re into the salvaged wood look, now’s a great time to buy! Tower cabins This may look like something out of a Disney film or Lord of the Rings, but believe it or not cabin towers do exist and are enjoyed by many families. They make great retreat locations and scenic lookouts. When it comes to cabins, there are so many options it’s worth your time exploring all of them and choosing the right cabin for you! Not to mention Ulrich Cabin builders offer great options in customizability that would make it a shame not to envision what your cabin getaway will look like! Your cabin is here to stay so why not invest in exactly what you want, without the hassle of having to build it yourself? What are some cool cabin designs you’ve come across? #logcabinforsale #logcabinplans #portablelogcabins

Maybe you’ve noticed because we certainly have – more than ever people are choosing to invest in their garages, making them look nicer, and treating them like part of their homes. And it’s not hard to see why. We’ve grown tired of treating our garages like passive spaces to park our cars. We see the value in having more space. Housing prices can go up, but our garages are still there, waiting for us to invest our time and love into their flooring, painting, organization and so on. Perhaps the biggest bonus of investing in our garages is that doing so will make our lives easier in the long run. Don’t believe it? Check out these reasons to invest in your garage space. Increases the value of your home. Investing in your garage adds value to your home. It’s a part of your home so adding value to it, like adding value to any part of your house, will make it worth more in the long run, should you ever decide to sell or rent. Because garages can easily be converted into many different uses (eg gyms, playrooms, art studios), there’s never a reason not to invest in your garage. Keep it in good shape and add instant value to your home. Invest in proper flooring, recent paint touch-ups and so on so you and your loved ones can better enjoy it. Extra storage space Having a garage is not only an opportunity to invest in an extra space for your hobby, it’s a great way to have easy and cheap storage accessible to you. Storage spaces can be expensive. Through proper organization, your garage can be an excellent source of storage for you and family and friends. Some people are even renting their garage out for storage to locals! Entertainment space Nobody wants to have a party in the garage –unless the garage is a super sweet hangout spot manicured to perfection. Love having guests over but need a new space to host? Well have you ever thought of refurbishing your garage? Garages can be a great entertainment option for having friends over, whether it be family gatherings or just guy time. Invest in the makeup of your garage, the ornaments, the flooring, the paint job, and make your garage a place that people are going to be asking to come back to. Put in a mini fridge, a billiards table, ping pong: whatever you think is fun. People will be begging to come back to your garage after the weekend party. Private time You don’t have to go on a weekend camping trip to get alone time. Having a well kept garage space can allow you the convenience of an easily accessible private space. Keep it well conditioned and in great shape so it’s aesthetically pleasing to be in and comfortable. Stash couches, chairs, some of your favorite reading –or put in a workbench and weld away your cares in the privacy and luxury of your very own space. As you can see, there are plenty of reasons to invest in your garage. And it’s an investment that will pay back to you emotionally and financially. What are some ways you invest in your garage? #customgarage #2storygarage #prefabgarage #woodengaragestexas

Growing up, my family loved taking vacations to the cabin. Whenever we went, I was always excited for the trip and brought along plenty of books to read. When you are little, everything in a cabin can be an adventure. For that reason, cabins have a special place in our American Psyche. For many of us, cabins are synonymous with family. That’s because so many of them are passed down from generation to generation. My own family had a cabin in our lineage. My grandfather, a master engineer, built himself a cabin in the South Lake Tahoe area. He did it all by hand and on his own, using pulleys and the like. It was built over the course of several summers spent in Tahoe. It was a masterpiece and a true work of art. Starting your own legacy Perhaps your family has a similar story and a cabin passed down from generation to generation. If not, why not start your own cabin legacy? Cabins can be a place to connect and reconnect. They’re especially important for families today. Because of so many distractions, a cabin retreat can be everything you need to reconnect with your loved ones. They can be a place for your kids to explore their imaginations, learn to love the outdoors, and gain a love for simpler things, like reading, painting, or playing board games with the family. The benefits of Cabin adventures We all know we love our adventures to the cabin. But may come as more of a surprise to you is the fact that cabins actually have a lasting beneficial impact on cabin dwellers. Because of its closeness to nature, staying a weekend in a cabin can actually encourage your kids to get exercise. This will do more than just teach them an appreciation for the outdoors: the exercise they have will be much healthier than staying the weekend in a tech-filled hotel. Have loved ones with difficulty relaxing? A cabin can be the ideal location for those overburdened with stressful jobs. Studies show that staying in a room with bare wood walls for an extended period of time can actually reduce stress and anxiety. When freed from all the distractions of normal life, there is no other option than for you and your loved ones to engage with one another in ways that we often don’t have time for. A cabin retreat might be just what your family needs. Choosing your cabin Although there are plenty of people who live in cabins all year round, there are plenty more who just vacation in them. Want to build a cabin of your own to vacation in? Once you’ve found the cabin destination you love, getting the cabin in place doesn’t have to be a pain. Ulrich offers affordable cabins and great shipping options to take the hassle out of establishing your cabin legacy. Ulrich Cabins come prefabricated and are customizable, which means you won’t have to accept whatever the kind of cabin your local contractor knows how to build. Say goodbye to harried tourist spots and hello to a peaceful, healthy, and adventure filled cabin vacation. #logcabinsforsaleintexas #loghomesintexas #portablelogcabinsintexas

Your garage floor gets a lot of wear. It is host to spills, stains, breaks –you name it. Too often this wear and tear goes uncared for. Lucky for you we’ve put together a list of a few different ways you can protect your garage floor. Covering vs Coating If your garage floor is in pristine condition, or at least good condition, then either will work. But if you’ve got one of those garage floors well loved and worn from years and years of use, a covering is the best choice because it covers and conceals these damages. If you are willing to put in the work to get your floor prepped and ready for a coating, the beautiful aftershine of a coating might just be worth it. Coatings There are several different kinds of coatings to choose from. If you’ve decided to go this route, epoxy might be a good choice for you. It’s cheap and a little goes a long ways. The main downsides of this coating is that you can’t drive on it for a good while after setting it. If you really want to get the whole works done on your garage, throw a concrete stain on your garage floor. This kind of coat doesn’t protect your garage floor but it does give it a nice decorative touch. It is perfect for a lesser travelled garage floor. Use a sealer on the garage floor for both decoration and durability. The bonus to using sealer is that garage it is easy to apply. Grab your roller of the shelf and get to work. Garage sealant also comes pretty cheap. Garage Coverings Have a stained, damaged or cracked garage and you want to cover it up? Coverings will be your best friend in this situation. But be warned, you’re going to have to pay for the extra convenience that a garage covering provides. Rollout flooring is as simple as laying matts. They can be very durable but won’t withstand everything. Some damages to watch out for include burning-hot tires and glass cuts. They can also be vulnerable to the weather. Interlocking tiles The last garage floor covering that we’ll share is the interlocking tile mat. These are slip resistant, flexi-plastic tiles that you can easily install in your garage to provide it with covering. Though they are also vulnerable to things like stains and damages, the bonus to using tiles instead of roll mats is that they are very easy to replace. The kind of covering or coating you will choose will depend on the way your garage is commonly used. Of course, there are even more choices to choose from if you are planning a different kind of garage. Making an art studio or turning your garage into an extra living space? Carpet or tile might make for a nice touch for your custom garage. #garagebuilding #Modulargarage #prefabgarages #prefabricatedgarages

Cabin living –there’s nothing quite like it. And if you are as big a fan of cabin living as we are, then you’re going to love this list of best places in America for cabins. Whether you are looking to cozy up in the winter, or in need of a launching pad for your outdoors adventure, these cabins are every cabin-lover’s daydream. Tahoe From shore to shore, Lake Tahoe is a premiere, cabin-dweller location. Tahoe locals love cabin living so much that they live in them year round! They even have fancy restaurants in log cabins. Just check out the Soule Domain in North Lake Tahoe. Love paddle boarding, jet skiing, rock climbing, horseback riding or fine dining, gambling and summertime music festivals? Tahoe is perfect destination for outdoor lovers and homebodies alike. Tahoe is such a perfect destination for mountain dwellers and cabin-fans that most people you meet haven’t even been living there their whole lives –it’s much more common to run into locals who were once tourists themselves but decided to turn coat and try out cabin living for good. Besides the activities we already mentioned, Tahoe is renowned for its skiing and makes a great destination for winter-time guests as well. Gatlinburg Tucked away in Tennessee, Gatlinburg is a great tourist destination for camping and cabin living alike. Similar to Tahoe, Gatlinburg hosts a wealth of family friendly activities that make this the perfect destination for families looking to spend some quality time with one another. A few key points of interest in Gatlinburg include wineries, distilleries, shops, a Sky Lift, and plenty of shows and entertainment. Cape Cod Perhaps less of a cabin destination, and more of a cottage one, Cape Cod still has the necessities of any cabin getaway adventure. Love biking along shorelines? Cape Cod is a great destination for sea lovers. There’s also plenty of historical sites for those in tune with America’s history, and lighthouses for the more nautically inclined tourist. Boerne, Texas Of course, if you’re looking for more than just to visit, you’ll be wanting a cabin site that is just as practical for long-term stays. When it comes to places you’ll want to look to build a cabin, Boerne will be up there on top of the list. Boerne is one of America’s premiere cabin building locations. Nestled right into the Texas hill country, take advantage of the entertainment, arts and family-based activities that marks this great cabin town. Ready to get out on a cabin excursion? Then it’s time to build your own cabin and/or rent from one of these premiere locations. What are you waiting for? Describe below some ways you’ve gotten your cabin fever or subscribe for more updates from Ulrich Log Cabins. #cabinsintexas #logcabinmodularhomes #tinyloghomes

Ever thought about what it takes to become a successful business owner? Funny enough, success doesn’t often come out of people trying to make a massive corporation. The biggest companies started out as the smallest seeds of an idea. These companies began as concepts from big thinkers trying to solve a problem –from their very own garages! Disney Maybe you’ve heard of Disney? It’s a monster company with hands in so many industries it’s hard to keep track of them all. But where did it all begin? Well, actually, Disney has it’s roots in a garage. The year was 1923 and it was in the summer, July, that Walt Disney took his big step into the world of movie making and fame. Hoping to get a job in the film industry, Disney soon realized that he just wasn’t having the luck breaking in that he had hoped for. So he got back to his original passions –drawing cartoons. This dry spell in Disney’s career was the best thing to ever happen to him. He built his first studio in a garage not far away from where Disneyland would one day come to be. Apple This one isn’t a little known fact, thanks to all the movies about Steve Jobs that have been coming out lately. But the billion dollar company that we now know as Apple began in a garage. Wozniak, Jobs’s original partner, spent days tinkering with what would become the Apple 1 in the confines of his garage while Steve spent hour after hour on the phone in an attempt to sell the product. Through many ups and downs, Apple has established itself as a giant, but it started out in nothing more than a garage! Google Google, Apple’s rival for top tech company, also owes its roots to a garage. In 1998, two recent Stanford Grads rented a garage in order to have a space to work on developing their new website. Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin had big ambitions, but the two actually met by chance.  They were assigned to each other during Page’s visit to Stanford. If not for this circumstance, our favorite website browser might be something else! Their goal was easier said than done: to organize the seemingly infinite amount of information scattered across the web. Their result? A billion dollar company that pretty much rules the world of information (and maybe more). Heard of Amazon? Jeff Bezos was another guy with a simple goal that wasn’t quite so easy to achieve –start an online bookstore that can deliver books to anywhere in the world. He started the business in his garage, investing a pretty sizeable sum into its conception. But it paid off, and he now has more than an online bookstore. Amazon delivers not only books but goods of all kinds to all four corners of the world. Like we needed to tell you that. Moral of the story? Big ideas start small –everyone has to begin somewhere. Have an idea? Plant your idea in good roots. Check out Ulrich garages and invest in a quality, custom garage and get going on your groundbreaking ideas! #prefabgarages #custombuiltgaragesintexas #prefabbuildingsforsale #prefabgaragesforsale

Cabin living –there just isn’t anything quite like it. Weekend trips up to the cabin get you the best of both worlds. You’re close to nature without having to sacrifice the comforts of a modern home. There’s something about waking up in a rustic, wood cabin that’s so relaxing. There’s really nothing else like it. And no wonder –studies have shown that being in a room with bare wood walls has the same healthy benefits as a walk through the forest: a reduced heart rate, reduced anxiety, and ease of social tension. But how do you get one of these cabins built? Isn’t it a lot of work and money to hire a contractor and have your cabin build in a remote location? Lucky for you, prefab cabins are built and custom made to fit your specifications. Customizability Excited cabin buyers have many questions about the new home they are investing in. For many, this may be a vacation home in their favorite spot in the mountains or by the lake. For others, it may be a more permanent one. But an important question that they will have to answer is how to get the cabin there? Purchasing a cabin can be an adventure, but often what you see is what you get. The only way you can really get a fully customized cabin to suite your needs is by buying a prefab one. This allows quality control and ensured customizability. Prefab cabins come ready built? There are a lot of challenges would-be cabin owners must face when deciding to purchase their cabin. Buying a prefab cabin can be the answer to all your questions and make your cabin buying process run faster and more smoothly. How can it do that? Let’s imagine for a moment that a couple wants to build a cabin out in the mountains near their favorite mountain resort town. They buy a new piece of land and now all that’s left is to build their new cabin on the freshly purchased property. They want full control over the build and make of their new cabin so they think the best way to do this is by hiring a contractor. This of course brings with it a laundry list of problems starting with, how are they going to get a builder to set up shop in a remote and difficult to access location? How is he going to have the tools he needs, the manual labor, the right working conditions, in the mountains in a remote location? Not to mention how much is this going to cost? All the costs mentioned above pless who knows how many more hidden and unexpected costs will come along with it? For new cabin buyers, the road forward seems a little hopeless. Ulrich brings reality to cabin builder’s dreams That’s where Ulrich Cabins comes in. Ulrich is a quality builder based in texas devoted to making each cabin with love, care, by hand. Not only are their cabins customizable, you can count on their product –we’ve been in the business for a while! The best part is we’ll even deliver your cabin to you.

Building Permits for Sheds in Harrisonburg, VA Building permit requirements vary widely by location. And since I am actually considering moving into Harrisonburg, VA, I thought I’d start researching whether I need a building permit for a portable storage shed in the Friendly City. I began by asking the All-Knowing Google: “Harrisonburg Shed Permits.” I found the Harrisonburg Building Permit page here. But as of 9:37 on July 16, 2016, there’s no information anywhere that I can find that tells me: Can I put a 12×20 storage shed on my property? But they did have their phone number prominently displayed, so I gave them a call. I quickly got the information I needed. QUICK STATS: Shed Permit Requirements for Harrisonburg The 10-second version: Under 256 sq. ft, no building permit is required for a portable storage shed used for residential purposes. Zoning: keep your storage shed 5 feet away from all property lines in the back yard. But you should go talk to the zoning office. For a more thorough version, read on…. Building Permit Requirements for Sheds in Harrisonburg, VA The staff at the city offices were very friendly and helpful. No automated phone menus! And I got through the first time–Kudos to Harrisonburg! Here’s what I found: For a portable storage shed under 256 square feet, no building permit is required. That means that any building less than either 12×20, or 14×18 needs no building permit. Your storage shed still has to be built to code. That basically means if you build it yourself, you have to build it according to normal building standards. If you buy your building from a reputable shed company (ahem … slight clearing of the throat), you have nothing to worry about. (And in case you want the details, here’s a start: The roof must be designed for at least 30 lb/sq ft for snow load. And the floor load needs to be 40 lb/sq ft. That probably means that the floor is designed to hold your riding lawn mower, but the roof is not.) And the good news is … it doesn’t need a permanent foundation. If you’re not sure what foundation to use for your shed, you may want to choose from the 5 most popular shed foundations. On the other hand, Harrisonburg specifies that your shed must be anchored. (The good news is that Ulrich Lifestyle sheds are engineered to 90 mph windspeed resistance, and no tie-downs are required.) Your storage shed must be detached from the main house. If you want to get hitched, you gotta get the papers. Pre-fab sheds with garage a door  cannot be used as a garage to store vehicles. If you want to give your ‘Vette a home, you need something more sturdy. And, it needs a non-combustible floor. Want electricity? You need a building permit for your shed. Keep in mind that this is all for residential purposes. When you are storing your lawn mowers, Harley’s, and Bob the Builder play sets, you are good to go as long as you build to code. If your building is commercial, you will need a permit. That means if you want to set up an office building for your used car lot, or to rent out U-Haul trailers, you have officially entered the Commercial Zone. You will need amenities for your valued clients such as steps, hand rails, restroom facilities (with running water — no outhouses, please), and so on. Zoning Permit Requirements for Pre-fab Storage Buildings in Harrisonburg Zoning permit is different from a building permit. A building permit has to do primarily with how the shed is constructed. Zoning has to do with what the building is used for, and where you place it on your property. Here are a few things Harrisonburg wants you to consider about zoning permits for sheds: Every property is in a zoning district which has a zoning classification such as R-1 and R-2 (residential zones) B-1 and B-2 (business zones), and so on. Each zoning district has its own “blanket requirements.” Two blanket requirement for residential zones: Your shed cannot be in the front yard. The storage building must be set back at least 5 ft. from side and rear property lines. The friendly Harrisonburg staff (and they really are!) would like you to make a quick stop by their office at 409 S. Main Street. You tell them your address, and a quick “verbal discussion” will ensue. Basically, they will look up your property, and let you know where good spots would be to place your shed. Additionally, they offer that you can even phone in. You give them your address, and they can tell you what you need over the phone. Now folks, that’s pretty good service. Grab your phones: 540-432-7700. Don’t neglect this step! They want to help you be sure that you don’t end up on top of a phone wire or sewer line, and have to have your shed moved to service these utilities. Or, that you have an irritated neighbor with a measuring tape calling city offices, saying that the shed is too close to the property lines. Shed Permits — Cost, Red Tape, and Bureaucratic Hassle Are you ready for a pleasant surprise? For a shed under 256 sq. feet … No cost. No paperwork. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Thank you, Harrisonburg! Contact Information — City Offices 409 S. Main Street, Harrisonburg, VA. (Click for map.) 540-432-7700 Chicken Permit Yes, Harrisonburg has a chicken permit, and there has been quite a flap and a flutter recently over it. It is an ongoing debate, but at this point you can keep chickens in your back yard. Here there’s a little more red tape. After you complete the Application to Keep Chickens, here’s the process in their own words: Animal Care and Control will schedule to visit the property, and if approved, will provide a Chicken Permit to the owner. The Chicken Permit shall be displayed on the chicken pen at all times. The permit is valid for one (1) year and must be renewed annually to continue to keep chickens. And if you get done with all that, and would like a lovely little pre-fab chicken coop to set in your back yard, get in touch with us. As of August 2016 this information was accurate. And the links worked! Please — let us know if anything needs to be corrected, updated, or expanded.

Backyard storage sheds have found a new purpose in the modern landscape. As people find out they need to do more with the room that they have, we are slowly finding newer and more unique ways of repurposing backyard storage sheds into creative purposes. Welcome to the child playhouse shed, a rising trend on the shed horizon. The playhouse shed is intended for your children to have a place to play and learn without being far from you. It also gives parents a convenient place to keep their children’s play things. Tired of picking up Legos off the floor whenever you have guests? The fact is, having a child playhouse shed in your backyard is a great alternative when there just isn’t enough space for a playroom indoors. Choosing a playhouse is a great way to gain control over your life. Sure, you love your kids. They mean the world to you, and you want what is best for them. But isn’t there a way for them to have fun while exploring their creativity without turning your house into a daycare?  Too many people allow their dining rooms, their studies, even their bedrooms, to be overrun by their children’s ambitious play schedule and imagination. We love our kids so much that sometimes it can be difficult to realize that we too need our own space, too. A great way to keep your space for family time and allow your kids the freedom to explore is to build them a play area of their own. Playhouse sheds can help you– Get control over your house again. By giving your children a private space intended for their play and imagination, you are freeing up the rest of your own time and space. By taking the play area out of your dining room, you are giving yourself the freedom you need without restricting theirs. Keep the Legos in the the playhouse shed —in fact, keep all the playthings in the shed. Reserve the house for quiet, family time, for activities like dinner, reading, or watching a movie. Having a playhouse shed for your kids can also be a great way for them to learn. Teach them how to paint, do storytime, or explore their interests, all from the comfort of your playhouse shed. Besides these great benefits of having a playhouse shed, there is also a good number of physical and visible bonuses that come with kids having their own place to play. Playing in a playhouse regularly helps fight obesity, increases creative stimulation, and even helps children develop their social skills. Keep your kids safe Childproofing a playhouse shed is much easier than childproofing an entire house. Your kids are much less likely to come across harmful objects in a safe space than they are in your house. Keep outlets covered, sharp edges unexposed, and poisonous substances far away from them with the help of a playhouse. There are other great ways to ensure your kids are safe while in their shed. Have kids that are a little older? One mom used an exit sign as a way for her kids to tell her whether they were in the shed or not. If the light was on, that meant the kids were in the shed. If it was off, that meant they were in the house. This way mom was always able to know where her kids were, without having to worry much about it. Ready to get your own, premium made playhouse? Ulrich offers playhouses for sale, built with your child in mind. #playhouseshed

“Look at this” Mike May told his wife, as he shut off all the lights in their Ulrich Cabin. Sitting on their front porch miles away from any city light pollution, a sea of stars covers their 75-acre ranch in Mt. Vernon, TX. A far cry from their city home located just five miles outside of downtown Dallas, they like to get away from the hustle and bustle of Dallas and enjoy life at a slower pace from time to time. Nearing retirement, Mike, and his wife decided they wanted more use of their acreage in the country. They have owned the land for some twenty years now and finally decided a log cabin would suit their needs. Mike met with Vice President of Cabin Sales Brian Pokrifcsak and decided on a one room all cedar hunting cabin. Upon walking inside the finished cabin, you are met with the aroma of fresh cedar and leather, as Mike and his wife meticulously decorated the space with cowhides and a leather sleeper-sofa that fits so well in the cabin. You feel right at home in this cozy cabin, tucked up in the woods. We hope Mike and his family will enjoy life at a slower pace in their new log cabin. #MikeMay

First impressions set the tone for all the relationships that follow. Camp Thurman wanted to set the tone of a warm, inviting environment. They looked to Ulrich to create that warm space, with an Ulrich Log Cabin Office. Once you enter Camp Thurman, you will find two Ulrich Log Cabin Offices. The Main office houses the Full-Time Staff. Two administrative desks sit at the front of the office, and the rear office belongs to manager Blake Bowman. The second office is for Blake’s Brother, Bart. As Director of Operations, Bart ensures that things are running just as they should be. Although his office is also used as a bit of overflow for additional storage, he is glad to have the space he needs to organize his projects. There is also a third office housing the staff that organizes the Night Campers. The evening camp allows kids to enjoy the same activities as the day campers. However they arrive, just as the day campers are leaving, so they meet on the opposite side of the camp to avoid confusion, thus the need for their own office.
