    Hoookay, back to a bit of our cabin history;

    We added a summer kitchen a year or so after we finished the cabin (cabins are never really finished by the way).

    A couple years later, after cabi darn near froze to death one winter just trying to make coffee, we added on a little indoor kitchen to the back end of the cabin.
    I made the windows and dutch door.

    I can't imagine too many things more satisfying than building your home with your own two hands and then living in it.
    Log cabin building should be a mandatory, (hands on) course in any high school. One can learn so much that's beyond just making something.

    Words of experience, of a truth for sure.

    I wrote some words in a book somewhere.
    Words that come from deep within.
    From this rhythmic thing in my chest.
    Rather tribal.

    They go something like this;

    Very few deeds mark one’s existence better than creating something.
    And that something can be a cozy structure.
    The value is not monetary, but a form of fulfillment of one’s innermost being.


    For me, most everything else is a void,
    a bottomless abyss of pursuing elusive things with money,
    instead of applying my own hands to the tangible,
    of which remains so untouched these days.

    The musician creates a song.
    The poet creates prose.
    The scientist makes discoveries.
    Joe average slogs to work, making a living.
    But building a simple cabin has a romance about it that beckons the soul.

    After months of trudging to the edge of the woods, TP and shovel in hand, we gathered some building scraps and built our poophaus.
    Not a hole, but a five gallon bucket.
