A reader of Bearfort Lodge recently sent me this wonderful email and photos of their beautiful work – Stunning! – Here is their email and photos.

Thanks to you – after two years of researching methods and what to use and how to do – yours was the simplest and best.
It is always exciting to hear from readers of Bearfort Lodge.

I contacted them to thank them for their comment, express my excitement over their project and offer further chinking information should they need it. I learned that they had purchased what they thought was a standard construction 1830s farmhouse with the desire to restore. It was when they started to dig in that they learned what they actually had was a log home….
