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 Bradley2019-06-29T09:44:04+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
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T09:44:02+00:00
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
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T09:44:01+00:00
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 Bradley2019-06-29T09:43:59+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.”

Fresh hewn logs
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T09:43:53+00:00
Here is fine example of new logs that have been recently hewn with a broad axe in the traditional manner. The finished result is attractive, will last for centuries, and if the labor involved was done by the cabin’s owner (not factored into the cost)… these logs are much cheaper than those found in any log home kit. The only downside is that these logs should be allowed to cure for a couple of years before chinking.

Never build a log home with a kit
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T09:43:50+00:00
Log cabin kits always seem to fall so short of the standard provided by our ancestors. The “handworked” surface added to this kit in no way resembles that of the vintage cabin also pictured here. I will never understand how some view the act of abusing new wood as “aging”.
