The logs are in place. The window is set and ready to trim. And then it’s time to chink!

Trim… to paint or not… and what color?
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:24:50+00:00
There is no right or wrong answer.
About have of the cabins that I have built or seen over the years have had neutral-colored paint trim, or, the trim has been left natural and unpainted. The other half of these cabins the owners have decided to “liven the cabin up” with bright colors, most often red or green. I can’t say that I have a preference, they all are attractive.
It’s more about the shade of the color, than whether or not there is a color. (avoid lime green for example)

Don’t wait until Sunday night to do your homework. Monday morning will be here before you know it and that school bell will be ringing!

A log cabin looks great no matter the season…

Finding an old log cabin to rebuild
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:24:44+00:00
Even after decades of people salvaging old log cabins there is still an abundant supply available.
Where are they?
Many are hidden under the siding of houses that simply appear to be old farmhouses… like this wonderful home.

National Park log cabin

Here we have what is known as a “shy cabin”… often found deep in the woods, peeking out from behind a tree… and, what a tree it is!
How about that stone chimney? Nice.

Log cabin living

Certainly there are hardships, unfulfilled wants, and disappointments felt by those in this fictitious painting, but you certainly don’t see it in their actions. They all appear very happy just to have each other… and, a fine log home in the country.
And that, is the way it should be.

Someday
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:24:39+00:00
“The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never be all green at the same time.
The universe doesn’t conspire against you, but it doesn’t go out of it’s way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect.
“Someday” is a dream that will take your dreams to the grave with you.”
