A few months back I shared the construction of this cabin but I just glanced over the story of the kitchen/bath addition off of the end.
It’s time to revisit here.
I have found that the log cabin (or stone) part of a home always dominates the visual impact of the entire home of which it is a part.
I have built homes where the log cabin only made up one room of a much larger house and yet everyone’s comments, and everyone’s memory, with regard to that home was always the log section.
And so it is with this cabin, and it’s adjoining addition which was so overshadowed by it’s bigger brother.
I don’t know why that is… maybe it’s because there is some kind of inner fascination with log structures that lies within us… or maybe it appeals to some hidden gene within us… maybe because a log structure is something out of the normal daily experience of most people. I don’t know.
And so, maybe the strong visual impact of a log cabin is why one that is built well is so appealing, and one built poorly is so, so bad.

Beautiful home.
It is so true, a little bit of log, makes the whole home a log home. 🙂
