The back of the cabin was also in amazing condition.
I can say that I’ve rarely seen a cabin with less foundation underneath it. Luckily, there were plenty of native stone to be found in the surrounding area which we gathered and then put a full stone foundation underneath of her.
Notice the minimal framing found in the old addition off of the back as revealed in this photo. I’ve seen barns framed with more wood than this.. I would say that this was the poorest example of framing that I’ve ever seen in a home… They put up just enough wood to hold the siding into place, and no more.
