![]() It is unfortunately poorly applied… it was installed flush to surface of the log faces. The chinking in this cabin is a brighter color than I normally go with, but not too bad after all. With regard to the logs notice the size of the chink joints on the fireplace wall and then compare with those on the adjoining wall… quite a difference in size isn’t it? This is the mark of an inexperienced notching job on the corners. Another option would have been to use salvaged lumber. That would also brighten the room a bit more. A better option would have been to paint those ceiling boards. If you were here in this room you would find this new lumber distracting from the antique ceiling beams. The ceiling between the beams is also new yellow pine. They could have done worse, and they certainly could have done better by using salvaged flooring from an older home or cabin. The flooring in this room is new yellow pine, not my choice of material, but a money saver for sure. All of these quirks are no big deal… just an observation that I’d like to point out. ![]() Also, some of the logs on one side of the fireplace are different than those on the other side, a clear indication of the random use of a pile of salvaged logs. There are many clues that let me know that… the main one being is that some of the interior faces that I see on the logs were originally exterior faces… logs that have been exposed to weather and are now on the inside of the home. I can tell that this cabin is a new cabin, built using antique logs. I’d like to point them out… not to be critical of whoever built or owns this cabin… and not to demonstrate to the world how much I know… but simply to share with you, my dear friend, what I see so that you might be prepared to do better when the day comes to build your dream cabin. Here we have a nice photo of a log cabin interior that was submitted to me by one of the members here.įirst impression is that it’s a nice cabin, and in a very real since it is… but there are “issues”, some minor that I simply would have done differently, and others that are huge mistakes. ![]()
