Oh, what a fine cabin

Home sweet home… Certainly there are cabins out there just as fine as this one, but not many.

A well worn path…
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:03:34+00:00
What a great cabin. It appears the cabin on the right was likely the original home and that the one of the left, with it’s “cat’s head” roof was later on creating a breezeway between the two.

A “dressed up” log cabin
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:03:29+00:00
A coat of whitewash and some red trim really “dressed” this cabin up didn’t it?

Logs and stone

This is what people build when they have a wooded parcel of land, stones free for the gathering, and limited selection of hand tools.

Start small, think small… consider a corn crib
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:03:21+00:00
Above is the corn crib of Ephrain Bales.
I want one just like it!
And below is Bob Johnson’s corn crib…
One more…
What is it about corn cribs that makes them so endearing?
A structure like this would look great in anyone’s back yard,would be handy to have, inexpensive to build, and would give anyone who built one the skills and confidence to build their own log home.

A home that stirs the soul
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:03:20+00:00
I often catch myself pausing for a few minutes when I look at a photo like this… there is an unusual mix of calm and wonder that I feel.
I’m at home.
And, the intensity of these feelings is only magnified when I stand before a place like this in person.
Why is that?
What is it about these vintage structures, made of natural materials, and assembled by hand, that captures me so?
Why is that so many homes fall short of achieving this reaction?
Should this be the goal of someone building a home?… that this be the bar that determines whether a home has passed the test, or not?… it’s a concept worth considering that a home not only serve as a source of habitation, but also as something that stirs the soul?

Is it a log home, or a stone home?
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:03:16+00:00
For those who can’t decide if they want a log house… or a stone house.
I’ve never seen another like it.
Early log homes were “chinked with stones or scraps of wood and then a layer of mud and fiber was applied over that on each side to keep the cold and rain out. This is the log home that I’ve seen where a mason carefully applied and chinked around these stones. The result, while not common, is rather attractive.

Old hewn cabin

Nothing else like having a little bit of firewood stacked on the porch!

An Arkansas log cabin
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:03:09+00:00
A sweet little cabin out of Arkansas.
Notice the unique step method in building the chimney… It appears that at each transition stage the mason dropped to a smaller size going forward… that is, after the first floor fireplace and smoke chamber were created, then the second floor fireplace, etc.
I can’t say that I like the look, to me it looks like someone did a poor job of Photoshopping the image, but, to each his own.
