Richard was proud to have a natural, vegan Thanksgiving.
This cabin is clearly a labor of love and Richard says that he hopes his work there never ends. Check out the next slide for another incredible project involving a historic log cabin!
Richard Aiken is far from the first person to restore an old log cabin and make it into a fully-functional home, though. Take this one from Grayson, Virginia for example, courtesy of Total Log Cabin Restoration!
Unlike Richard’s log cabin, this particular one was in much better condition once Total Log Cabin Restoration got their hands on it, at least in the sense that it didn’t look like it was completely falling apart.
Nonetheless, there was still plenty to do, and Total Log Cabin Restoration certainly had their work cut out for them. You can still see just from looking at the cabin that it was showing its age.
The wood was starting to show some discoloration, and the splintery sections needed to be smoothed out. This problem would have only gotten worse over time if they left it unattended.
