Paul, as addressed in the previous post, is tackling a major rebuilding and restoration of an outstanding hand hewn log home that he disassembled and moved from Pennsylvania to his property in West Virginia.
Disassembling a log home is a long laborious process. Each log, its position and adjoining logs must me marked properly before dismantling so that the pieces fit back together when reassembled.
Paul says that he is not exactly sure of the age of the original log home. “the logs are apparently old growth yellow pine and heavy as heck” he writes.
Replacement of some of the logs was necessary as over the years there had been some modifications with the addition of doors and windows leaving a structure that he felt was a bit unstable.
