A hewn cabin at sunrise
A 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).

A place for everything, and everything in it’s place
Now here we have a wonderful rustic kitchen… it’s not everyone’s dream kitchen but you do have to admit that it is a piece of art. The designer of this kitchen clearly thought “out of the box”, had a nice collection of antique cookware, and wanted to showcase it all. They did a great job at it.

Stone… the ultimate building material
Stone is a marvelous building material… gorgeous to look at, free for the gathering in many places., zero maintenance, and, it will last… well… forever.
You can let your imagination run wild when you build with stone.
You can build classic designs, ones that have proven their appeal over centuries, ones that will be appreciated for centuries to come.
Stone, the ultimate alternative building method that we have today, and also, the one that we’ve had for millennia.
