Restoration

Here's how I, a mathematician and physician knowing very little about construction, restored a decaying abandoned 1830's log cabin into my dream shelter. I reveal what I learned about the process - and myself.
​Click on the stages of restoration below.
Found! How I found the cabin and what was its original condition
Deconstruction. How the cabin was prepared for transport to my woods. 
Site preparation. Selection of new site in my woods and preparation to receive cabin.
Reconstruction. Putting the logs back together and building roof and porches.
