This structure is an easy build, with a minimal amount of materials, and is so attractive, and would serve many purposes… from storage to a guest house. Why more farms don’t have one of these is beyond me.

A cabin with huge, wonderful, logs.
All hewn with an axe.
And, with half-dovetail notches in the corners.
Large trees were common back when most of these historic cabins were built, and still today wide logs are available with a little bit of looking. I’ve wondered about why more cabins were not made of wide logs like these are, and even wider ones… the only thing I can come up with is the practicality of working with logs… it’s much harder to hew a really wide log… and it’s much harder to lift a really wide log.

Help me!
My trim has been painted an awful shade of yellow.
And, I’ve been surrounded by vinyl covered cubes!

Yes, it’s true, there are even log cabins in Phoenix, Arizona.
This replica is of an original pioneer cabin.

We had heavy frost last night here in Virginia.
Fall is REALLY here now.
I do love the Fall colors.
And, flannel shirts.
And, lighting that first fire in the fireplace!

A dream home doesn’t need to remain a dream.
Where do you see yourself five years from now?
There are only two options… make plans, or make excuses.
Decide what you want, create a plan, and then… take the next step… and then the next one… and then the next one…

Tim McGraw- Faith Hill own a log cabin… not what I would consider a modest cabin… but nonetheless, she is an old log home.

Isn’t it amazing that a home can be built with no intention of impressing the neighbors, but ends up impressing everyone, for over a century?

A log cabin by itself is breathtaking if designed and built properly, and located in an attractive setting. But with the addition of a few outbuildings the place becomes magical.

An example of hewn log cabin construction at the “top tier” level of skill. No backwoods pioneer, or farmer during his down time, crafted this cabin… for sure.
