A nice house site

The house looks new… but the house site looks like it was created many years ago. An old road bed perhaps?

Almost there

A sweet old country cabin… just precious.
I don’t mean to be critical but I don’t share opinions on how each structure can be improved, well, this site has no purpose.
The roof overhangs are too great. It looks like the eaves of the house extend nearly three feet. This creates a visually crushing effect of the house… squashing the second floor. A foot or less of overhang would have been so much better.

A thousand words
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:26:34+00:00
They say a photo speaks a thousand words.
What words do you hear?
When you look at this photo do you feel sorry for the folks who live here?… on how impoverished they are… on how small their home is… on the possessions they must not have? Why surely they must be cramped in there. Do they even have cell phone reception or high speed internet?
Likely, if you have found yourself here on this site it’s not sympathy that you feel towards the inhabitants of this house but rather a tinge of jealousy. There is a peace that can be found within a space like this that is lost in our modern world. Perhaps the transition to a home like this would be too hard for us to undertake… but if we could bring some of this charm into our own homes, or have a place like this to retreat to in order to recharge our inner soul… well, that would be goal worth striving towards wouldn’t it?

The attraction of a log home
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:26:33+00:00
Log homes are like magnets to us humans… they just draw people to them.
For some reason they also seem to attract wagon wheels… lol
The little stream out front adds a lot to the serenity of this place, doesn’t it?

Whispering pines
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:26:31+00:00
I do love a pine forest. Some people don’t care for them. Pine trees are shallow rooted and brittle, so they don’t fair well during strong winds like those created by a hurricane.. But, there is nothing else like the feel you get when walking through a grove of them.
On a windy day, they are known to whisper.

Small log cabin
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:26:30+00:00
I suppose any ceiling height over six feet and a few inches is a luxury… a luxury I fully appreciate!

Lower ceiling heights of yesterday

Yes indeed people were shorter back in the day… but lower heights were also easier to build and quicker to get done when so many other chores needed to be done.

One step at a time
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:26:28+00:00
Building a log cabin, one section at a time, makes a lot of sense, and it produces a very attractive home. The simple break in this roof line adds so much to the appearance of this home.

There is no shortage of old cabins to save or salvage
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:26:27+00:00
The mailbox still stands out front, but this cabin has long been abandoned as a home.
She looks a bit sad doesn’t she?
Nobody wants her.
🙁
