Your cabin and holler make me pine for the days when I lived by the Little Miami River in an 1820 water mill. Gotta love those timber frame buildings! Dick Proenneke would be proud of you, Will.

Watching him build this cabin, I can see my dad doing similar things that all men used to know how to do. My dad built our house himself, in the 20s - he was born in 1892 and my mom in 1903. This brings back their world in the countryside of Virginia, where I grew up. Of course, it wasn't a log cabin. But there were log cabins in our area, heated by wood stoves or fireplaces. A vanished world now. Worth remembering. Thanks. I didn’t know about this man! Watching him build this cabin, I can see my dad doing similar things that all men used to know how to do.
