What will your legacy be?

Stone walls.
Stone roof.
Zero maintenance.
And a joy to look at!
What a charmer.
The life expectancy of such a structure (if it can avoid earthquakes and bulldozers)?… certainly hundreds of years… perhaps thousands of years.
What else can a person do during a lifetime that can impact and bless people that far into the future?

Fall, has arrived.
It’s a great time of year.

Still proud

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.

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?

IMG_1366

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

gentry farm

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.
