Yesterday I cut ten notches, stacked eleven logs of various sizes and started framing up the window. The weather was nicer than it has been and I worked shirtless most of the day. I took a dip in the river to cool off and noticed that I'm really starting to get in good shape.
The point of this "backslapping" is that this cabin is a gift that keeps on giving. Not only am I getting a deluxe little outbuilding out of it, I am in the best shape I've been in over a decade. So I thought I would run down the cost of goods and the return on investment today.
The latest expense was a new set of handles. One for the axe and one for the hatchet. fifteen dollars.
I estimate I have used around three gallons of gas give or take, another fifteen dollars.
There was a new chain for the chainsaw, eighteen dollars, and a pound of nails, two dollars.
Grand total = $50.00 (so far)
Building your own log cabin = Priceless!
You're making me want to build my own log cabin, it looks really good! (and it is pretty cheap too!)

ReplyDeleteGo for it!
Just be careful and don't cut down anything you shouldn't.
