There are so many ways to build a cabin. It seems that log cabins get most of the attention, at least on the internet. However, there are other building materials that can be used. I love seeing what materials others are using to build their cabin. The materials seem to be related to the place and climate where the cabin is being built. Some materials are easier to come by then others and some are easier to get into remote spots.

I had not previously been aware of a technique called slipform. This appears to be a definite option to consider if you live in a damp climate. For more information on this technique go to http://www.hollowtop.com/cls_html/stone_cabin.htm

What interesting and unique materials have you seen used to build cabins?
