Have you ever looked at someone and you could just tell what they did for a living?

An attractive way to create a large cabin is by combining two or more together as this home does.

I wish this image was a little sharper. It appears this woman is extremely happy about something… maybe it’s because she has two darling children and they all live together in a handmade log home?

I’ve heard it said that men would hike into the wilderness of Kentucky with nothing but a rifle and an axe head. Upon arriving they would take the axe head and create a handle for it. And then, they would take the completed axe and make a simple cabin like this where they would live for a few years while clearing their land and building a larger home… a cabin with wood floors, a stone foundation, and stone chimney.

It take a LOT of logs to build a full size cabin… but one this size, only a few.  This is a one person cabin and that’s including the back addition.

Here’s one in Texas.

And one from Indiana.

A cabin in California.

And… a cabin in Virginia (I built this one 🙂

Here we have four cabins from Texas, Indiana, California and Virginia…  From the deep South to the North, from the Pacific to the Atlantic,  this is a nation of cabin folks!

Have you got one for yourself?

Davy Crockett (better known as “the king of the wild Frontier”, (thanks to Walt Disney), was born here… Morristown, Tennessee.

His parents ran the local tavern… here’s a recreation of it…

Have you ever wondered what heaven looks like?
Well, here’s a peek… a perfect little mill. Don’t you think?

When it comes time to add on to your log home… will that addition be made of wood, or stone?

For many, if cost were the same for either, would choose stone. Without a doubt the stone is a more expensive option… in the short run. But over the coming decades, and even centuries, as the wood siding will need maintenance, repairs and even replacement, the stone will be there… forever.

But the wood should not be considered second rate by any means. There is a warmth and charm to wood. People who are drawn to log homes are also wood fanatics, they can’t get enough of it. And that is a good thing.

The choice is yours to make.

Which will you choose?

A mighty fine cabin and homestead located within the Great Smokey Mountain park. What’s not to like about this place?
