This is what it looks like when you have too many logs in the 'bone pile'.

At this particular time I had logs on sight, either as completed buildings or stacked, for six log buildings.

Way too many.

An update!

A few months ago I posted about this log cabin.

Well this past Friday we were in the area and thought we would check on it.

 Although the sun was at a bad angle for this shot, you can see how much Randy and his crew has gotten done.

Some of his crew and additional Amish workers were there when we arrived working on another building for him.

 Randy has a stone business in the Center Mo area and this building and the new one are going to be part of his show room for his business.

Here he has used some great stones for the front stairs.

 My assistant making sure it is unlocked.

Love the wood he used on the porch.

Inside he has added the loft since we last stopped by.
Assistant checking out the ladder/stairs.

 Love all the reclaimed lumber he has used.

It would not be unusual for the ladder to be this steep or even more so in an old house.

 Assistant up in the loft.

 Side view.

You can see how they didn't try to hide the concrete peers they used (which are really visible in the first photo).
Normally I would hate the fact that they left them showing like this, but it seems to work and is not to much of a distraction from the nice stone work.

 Some of his soon to be displayed stones.

I love the little windows he used.

Looks like only a little more work is required to make it finished.

Finally got a slide scanner so I can now better add some of my older photos . . .

These first two photos are from the cabin I call the 'Main Cabin', featured on the header of this blog.
This shows the interior just after I removed all the manure. You can see the dark area low on the wall that show how deep it was.
This photo also show how the stairs were boxed in and how a cabin could be finished on the inside to hide the logs. Just under the steps you can see the white wash that was the first time they tried to hide the logs.

 This photo show the unusual front porch covering. Notice that the porch roof pitch is different from the main roof.

There was a ceiling on the over hang, so the log under the porch were never sided.

 This photo is from the cabin I call 'Red Tail' on this blog.

While building there was an opening under one of the doors.
One spring a mother swallow built a nest inside a fishing basket for her babies.

This is a wonderful double crib log barn in St Charles County.
I may have posted this a couple of weeks ago, but this picture should be better.

Movies with log cabins - "The Bourne Legacy"

 This part of the movie is suppose to take place in Alaska. But I don't know if it was really shot there or not.

We don't get to see much of the interior, but the outside looks pretty cool.

It gets destroyed in the movie so it was probably just built for the show.
