The charm of a wood cookstove

It looks like the rolls are done.
Can you smell them?

One of the many benefits of cabin living

A log cabin sure does blend into the environment, doesn’t it?

Still proud
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:21:41+00:00
I can’t help but wonder why this fine home was abandoned.
After many years of decay and neglect, she still stands straight and true.

Worn paint

What is your opinion of the paint finish seen in this photo?
A) I love it just like it is
B) I’d put a fresh coat of paint on everything
C) I’d remove all the paint and have a clean natural wood finish.

Heresy! Brick chimney on a log cabin?
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:21:39+00:00
Here’s proof that a brick chimney can look good on a log cabin… it’s tough to do, most that attempt it, fail.
It’s an unspoken rule that log cabins must have a stone chimney, I’ve never built anything but stone on the cabins that I have built, but here is a photo that shows there are no absolute rules with cabins.

Siding on a log cabin
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:21:37+00:00
I do like this cabin.
I’m one of those who likes nice painted wood on a cabin as much as I do their more rustic natural wood cousins.
But, I’m a little confused why the preservationists of this cabin started their siding as low on the house as they did… I would have started it higher up where the triangular gable end of the cabin began.

One classy stone home
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:21:36+00:00
I’m particularly fond of this house.
Most larger stone homes are too symmetrical… too rigid… for my tastes.
This gal though seems more “homey”, more comfortable and inviting.
I’m not certain why that is.
Is it that the windows are different from one side of the door as on the other?
Is it that the chimney’s are each unique?
Perhaps that’s partially the answer, but I think the main feature that I find appealing on this classy home is the gentle sag of her roof line.
What kind of builder appreciates a sagging roof-line? lol

An inexpensive log cabin restoration
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:21:35+00:00
Here’s a bright and cheerful cabin.
She has been through several phases in her life so far… likely a rustic cabin when first built… then later on she was whitewashed… and later covered over with siding (when everyone lived in log houses, no one wanted to live in a log house).
Today the cabin’s owners have removed the siding on the front of the home to show those pretty logs to the world once more.
