Another photo made it on to one of my favorite sites.

Cabin Porn

Good use for some old lumber.

Was asked to help make a rustic cooler stand for a Boy Scout Raffle.

 Got some 150 plus year old log cabin wood and put it to good use.

Even used some old tin roofing.

A few from our Mid-West snow storm. Snowbound for the weekend. . . on purpose.

 While I thought I would post more here once I retired, the opposite has proven true.

Here are a few from our weekend snow storm.

Birds-eye view here from the treehouse.

 Our covered drive.

We ended up with about 14-16 inches of snow from Friday night to Sunday.

 First time with Christmas lights and snow.

 Dusk

Early morning.

A couple of drawings of a 'once upon a time' plan.

 A number of years ago I started working on plans to move into the cabin as a permanent home.

The main log section is on a dry laid stone foundation so was not suitable for plumbing.

So I had to plan an addition that would contain the water works for a kitchen and bathroom, with heat and AC.

This is a sketch I did that I ended up really liking.

While no longer needed I think it is still a very doable plan.

Well, maybe some day.

Girl Scouts restoring Old lodge.

 I have not seen this place yet, but my wife has.

An old lodge called Trefoil Lodge at one of the Girl Scout Camps they us a lot.

I will be neat to see how it ends up.

What a difference a couple of days make.

I have always liked a very white chinking between the logs I like the contrast between the grey logs and the white chinking. Just a personal preference.
We got most of the chinking down last weekend on the Adirondack Shelter.
I went out again today to check on the place and to see if our chinking had started to lighten yet.

 Last Sunday, still grey.

Today, much lighter.

 Sunday, still grey.

Today. Starting to look more like the main cabin in the back.

 Last Sunday, grey.

 Inside today, starting to lighten.

The long west rows. Getting much whiter.

Just a few more from last weekends work.

 South side finished.

 John working on one of the long rows in the back (west side).

 From the south-west.

 Diane working on the inside.

 Fast becoming one of my favorite views.

 Chairs back up to finish off our afternoon.

 A little detail around the faux floor joists.

Finished north side.
