My parents started building their cabin in 1951 and finished in 1953 using the trees of the land. They hand stripped everything and back then there were no power tools like there are now. It was a huge job.

We now live in the cabin. Its over 70 years old. It's beautiful. We had to update the kitchen and bathroom in 2019 - put heated floors in both rooms. It is very cozy most of the year. However, it can be very cold in the winter near the mountains because the R value of the logs is low. I hope one day we can add an outside layer with a new fangled board that can help heat retention.
