I talked that friend out of that old log cabin he had stacked up in his back yard.

Cut down a few logs for some new wood, added an upstairs and a new porch.

Everything done for cost of nails so far. Using recycled everything.

My friends and me had a little cabin raisin', and here's what we got done so far.

The dude that makes fireplaces is not done, so no fireplace yet.

I had another thread around here, but couldn't find it. About starting up a cabin in the back of the woods.

I picked this spot by a pond, won't have any electricity, but it is a good start to a second cabin retreat.

Starting up my "back to nature" weekend getaway place for now.

I didn't like how the windows and doors were placed, but since I wasn't alive in 1847, I couldn't do much about it.

It is chestnut logs that were taken down in 1946 and stacked in an old barn and were numbered!!!

It is only about 24 x 30 with a loft upstairs. I got some more pics, will upload later!

Yes, this house is weed built! That is how I bribe the crew... lol.

Fish in Pond: Catfish, bass, bluegill.

Yes, I talked him out of it for free. Had to promise to build it back, so I am off the hook now, since roof is on. Fireplace will be done in a couple weeks.

Had to trade some deer hunting for some fireplace work... lol. die deer die... lol. I would rather have a fireplace!

But windows and doors are in, and it is basically done now.

It looks like it will be a cozy place to get back in touch with nature. Do a little fishing, a little smoking, a little barbequing and sitting next to the fire...:huggg:
