Building a Log Cabin


Contained on this and following pages is a pictorial display of a 2-story log cabin house and adjacent 2-story garage recently built in the woods of North Florida, USA. The home was built by two people - Clyde and Rosemary - without the help of contractors or hired help. Clyde has worked full-time during most of the construction period, so only a few days of the week are available to work on the house. The home is built from logs bought at BK Cypress, Bronson, FL. This photo shows what the house looked like from the front in February, 1998.

This page was updated in early 1999 for the final time!
