Here’s a “before and after set” of photos taken of this mountainside cabin. One was taken when I first saw the cabin covered in snow, and the other is of the finished cabin in the broiling heat of a Virginia summer.
Please take note of two things, first I’d like you to see the improvement that we made to the front porch…
Also, notice that these photos are taken in the parking area of this little cabin (which is on a higher level). When one lives and builds on a mountainside, any level spot of land is rare, small, and highly treasured.
There are generally often two or more highly valued level terraces comprising a mountain homestead like this. Everywhere else one struggles to some degree to stand or walk. Unless of course you are fortunate enough to have one leg longer than the other.
