The Barger Cabin Repair

After being heavily damaged by years of water dampness and rot, the rear and front foundation sill logs were replaced in 2023.  The wood was cut by hand with traditional tools and then coated with pine tar and linseed oil.  The portland cement that was located between the logs was removed from the entire cabin.  In 2024, our Site Manager is working with a clay expert to create a daubing recipe using our local clay.  Once the recipe is solidified, the cabin will be chinked and redaubed in a traditional manner.
