Log cabin back porch

Now that’s a back porch.

Years ago a back porch was more than a place to sit and reflect. During the warmer months of the year there was plenty of kitchen and laundry work that needed to be done… mainly food preservation of the crops that would sustain the family throughout the Winter and coming Spring. It was much more pleasant to be doing these chores out on the porch where the heat from all the fires needed to can and heat water didn’t make working so unbearable.

Under the porch

What do you think the purpose was for the wood slating that wrapped the underside of this porch? Was it decorative? Was it to keep something confined? Or, was it to keep something out? (and if so… what was it?)

Be on guard for pumpkins this time of year… they tend to sneak up on porches when no one is looking.

A cabin with a screen porch

And, here is that little screen porch tucked away on the backside of this little cabin. A treasured room… and… by far the easiest and least expensive room of the home to build.

A porch in Winter

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:08:04+00:00

It seems that whenever we have built a cabin that we have always been in a race against the weather… hoping to get a cabin “closed in” before Winter’s arrival.
Our goal would always be to be able to enjoy finishing the interior work with the nearby comfort of a good fire in the fireplace.
Quite often though Winter would win, as it did on this cabin project… the first snow fell too quickly.
Oh well, it still beat working in the city.
And, the porch was still inviting, though plenty cold.
