Maybe, we need fireplaces
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:23:32+00:00Whenever I have a fire, before turning in for the evening, and after having turned off all the house lights, I make sure and take at least a few minutes to just pause and stare at the flames.
I find that a room lit with only the light of a fireplace to be comforting and reassuring that all is well.
I imagine fires have been giving comfort to us all for many generations.
Maybe… we need fireplaces.
Maybe… they are more than luxuries.

An Arkansas log cabin
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:23:29+00:00A sweet little cabin out of Arkansas.
Notice the unique step method in building the chimney… It appears that at each transition stage the mason dropped to a smaller size going forward… that is, after the first floor fireplace and smoke chamber were created, then the second floor fireplace, etc.
I can’t say that I like the look, to me it looks like someone did a poor job of Photoshopping the image, but, to each his own.

A log cabin in it’s simplest form
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:23:27+00:00
No windows, no porches, no stone foundation, no additions, no dormers, and even the stone chimney is hidden on the other side. There are no dramatic views to be seen, no nearby outbuildings to create added charm. She is just a simple cabin on the edge of a woods. And yet, in all this simplicity she is beautiful.

A hewn cabin at sunrise
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:23:24+00:00A nice cabin, in a wonderful location.
I do enjoy a good cup of coffee in the morning on the front porch of a cabin.
There are two things that I would have done differently if I had built this cabin… I would have put a lot more emphasis on building a more attractive chimney (the stonework seen here on the chimney appears to have been done by more than one mason, each with different styles of randomly cementing stones in place)… And, I would not have used wide windows in the gable ends of the cabin (which visually makes the pitch of the roof look lower).
