The only thing better than having a stone chimney is having two stone chimneys… uh… make that… three stone chimneys! wow!

Benefit of using salvaged materials

Roger has a nice farm stand, doesn’t he?
All it took to add some character to this structure was the use of some salvaged materials.

In her day, she was gorgeous.
To me, she still is.

Log cabin windows

The front facade of this cabin is very attractive… oh, so nice… The windows and front door are just perfect.
On the first floor the windows are 9 over 6’s, while on the second floor they are 6 over 6’s… and how about that precious window unit above the front door… Nice.
Yes, I struggle to ignore the replacement brick chimney on the end of the cabin… what were they thinking?

I’ve built several basic ones… nothing as fancy as this nice one… but one day… one day… I’m going to do it!

A stone cottage in Autumn

A painting like this speaks for itself.

There is little that I can add to describe the beauty and permanence of a stone cottage.

A log cabin kitchen

Here’s a really nice kitchen…
But…
I try to persuade my clients away from having a log kitchen because…
A) The kitchen cabinets cover up most of the logs… why go through all the trouble and expense of having nice logs and then covering them up? Plus it is a lot harder to mount cabinets on the irregular surface of a log wall.
B) Log cabins tend to be darker rooms whereas a kitchen needs to be a bright space (notice how all the lights are turned on in this photo while light is pouring in from the window?)
C) Log cabins are trickier to wire and plumb than more traditional framed rooms are. Kitchens need plenty of outlets and sources of water.
D) Log cabins tend to have low ceilings and kitchens tend to be better spaces with taller ceilings.
