Here is a “before” photo of this cabin.
I never saw this log home where she came from… a professional salvager had carefully taken her down and sold her to my client.
My mission was to put her back up, better than ever. I think I did a pretty good job of doing just that.
I loved every minute of the process. And, I gained a lifelong friendship with the man who still lives there to this day.
Notice that there are two door openings on the second floor that I needed to “erase”.
A couple of interesting things to note about this cabin…
It was built in the early to mid 1800’s. Some of the logs in this home came from a log cabin that was built in the 1700’s… so, folks have been taking down and rebuilding cabins for a long time… this is not a new phenomena.
Also, the cabin in this photo was in West Virginia. When this cabin was built, pre-Civil War, this state was not West Virginia… it was Virginia. By taking this cabin down and rebuilding it in Virginia, this client returned the cabin to it’s home state.
