My brother built/had one built (log cabin that is). if you are going to have a full walk in basement I would recomend you put the box down there, it will make thinks alot easier for you also make sure you plan wayyyyyy ahead on where all phone cable power outlets are at If its a true log cabin all the holes and wiring is ran as that house is built. Also if you have a full basement go 13 blocks high on the walls it will give you more head room and will help cover /box in any pipes or heating/ac ducts.
