Hello,

plank wall construction is a very good and sound method of building. I am very familiar with this method, but not the French Canadian version -this concept is repeated all over the world.

I have studied French Canadian plank wall enough to notice its most significant differences from the techniques I am familiar with, but surely there are people more thoroughly versed in this specific art than I am.

What more specifically do you need help with, I could help you create a basic design that follows historical patters but would need more detail to do so. Even just a rough sketch would be helpful, including dimensions.

This is certainly possible, but be advised you will probably have to pass it by your local building inspector. I'd suggest you have a good talk with him before going too far.

I was fortunate enough to not need my cabin inspected, since in my county a building for agricultural use is not permitted or inspected, but this is not common these days I am afraid.
