As you can see we were moving along on restoring this cabin. The roof is now ready for the standing seem copper to be installed. All that we needed to do was build the front porch roof before we could call in the roofers.
Notice that we have finished the chinking on this side of the cabin… and if you look closer you can see something that I’ve never seen on another cabin…
On both sides of the entry door you will see log ends from interior log walls. I have found that a single interior log wall on an old cabin is very rare… two, is practically unheard of. To me, it spoke of the probability that the original owner of this cabin was a man who had time, and likely the funds to pay others to build him a large home… in other words, this home was for a man of financial means.
