Log cabin back porch
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:23:13+00:00Now that’s a back porch.
Years ago a back porch was more than a place to sit and reflect. During the warmer months of the year there was plenty of kitchen and laundry work that needed to be done… mainly food preservation of the crops that would sustain the family throughout the Winter and coming Spring. It was much more pleasant to be doing these chores out on the porch where the heat from all the fires needed to can and heat water didn’t make working so unbearable.

Rustic charm
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:23:11+00:00I can’t help but notice that no board on this cabin is cut exactly right… each is to some degree a little too long.
Better too long than too short.
I know from experience that when building a home with the aid of a handsaw, rather than an electric one, that work is often performed “good enough”… not “perfect”.

Rustic metal siding
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:23:09+00:00This product… “Truten”… (of which I learned about through one of our members here at HandmadeHouses… thank you Chuck) is a metal application that has been rusted and sealed… has some real potential to create an attractive home exterior. I’ve yet to find an attractive home design coupled with this material, but I think the result of such a combination would be eye catching, durable, and low maintenance.
