Log Cabin Pictures

Rick And Donna's
Log Cabin in the North

You Have to Start with a Driveway Our Practice Project was a Chicken Coop Breaking Ground For the Main House We used My Brother, Ron's Massey Ferguson 65 for the Heavy Work

The Basement Floor was only 4 feet Below Grade NorthWest View Of the Site with Ron Working in the Hole My Brother, Chuck was the Lead Block Layer I Got Quite a bit of Help Laying Block

I got Help again Nailing off the Deck

The Inside Wall is Four Inch Framed Then, Four Inch Logs Hung Outside the Frame Wall I Got the East Side and Around the South Corner Logged While the Weather Held But the Snow Came Early and Changed My Priorities

Looking Out The Drive Way Towards the Highway I Got the Second Deck on Just in Time, Before the Heavy Snow Hit The Gables were Framed and Sheeted on the Deck and Then Stood in Place My 1975 Ford 3/4 Ton Super Cab Was Handy for the Heavy Hauling

I Built Four Foot Jack Walls Upstairs to Support the Rafters in the Middle A View From the Highway of the Cabin in the Woods View From the South East Corner I Got Chintzy on The Rafters and Went with Two By Four, Since I Had Support Halfway Up

After the Snow Went Off, I Resumed Logging Around the North End and West Side I Also Finished Around the South End Deck By the Time The Spring Rain Got There, I was Pretty Well Closed in I Started Roofing Over the West Deck Roof

I Could Haul a Thousand Feet of Lumber in this old Chrysler Wagon I Built a Sort of Scaffolding Up the Roof to Walk on While I Worked There Was a Little Mini Deck on 2nd Floor as an Emergency Escape Route Amazingly, the 2nd Floor Never Got Rained on Until After the Roof was Completed

Wheel Chair Ramp and a Salmon Colored Trim An Entry Porch and Vertical Siding Above On the North End Same View, A Little Later, Completed the Exterior in Less Than a Year and We Were Ready to Move In View of the Finished Cabin From The West

View of the Finished Cabin From South West Sometime Later, We Added on to the South End, So this is the Completed Cabin, From the Highway View View of North End Entry in 2003 After 20 Years of Weather Took it's Toll Log Home In The Woods in 2003

North West Corner as it Looked in 2003 As a Father's Day Gift, Donna and Cheryl Worked on Refinishing Restaining The North End in June, 2004 Northwest Corner as it Looks after Refinishing

We Also Hung A New Light In The Kitchen I also built a Pig Barn with 3" Squared Logs. (As it looked in 2003) 2003 View of the Entire Site With Original Pump House Showing to Left Close Up of the Original Old Pump House in 2003
