Almost adopted this one . . .

 A cousins put me on to this one.

About 15ft x 17ft.

Near its original location.

A couple of six over six windows.

Some traditional chinking between a few of the logs.

Once a 1 1/2 story cabin. Now just one story.
 You can see where the 1/2 story joists would have been.
 'V' notch

Not big logs.
 Looks nice from this side.

You can see the logs were notched for boards to level siding.
 But here was the problem.

The trees and vines growing on this side really damaged the logs.

Which could have been okay if the logs had run the full width.
Then you could have maybe just put a fireplace on the wall.

But you can see that a door had been added, maybe when it started becoming a bigger house.

So there are at least seven logs on this wall that need replacing.

Plus one on the back wall.

To much work for what it is for me.
It sure was a tidy building at one time.

Just a couple from recent snow and today.


 Snowed last Sunday, enough to cancel school for two days.
Here you can see the kitchen addition.

I was worried how it might look, but so far I really like it.
Better view of the kitchen.



But by today, most had melted.

















And it was warm enough to sit in the hammock and read for a while.

Almost finished

Almost got the little kitchen addition done. But at least it was warm and usable.
