Log cabins. The most iconic building type of early America. Two centuries and more after being built, a log building needs periodic maintenance. With regular maintenance, however, there is no reason these buildings couldn't last another two centuries with no problem.

It was a real pleasure working in Salem, New Jersey. Relatively speaking, though, I spent very little time on the actual job. Most of my time was spent in the woods working up timbers, in the shop splitting shingles, or standing a lonely vigil at the lime kiln. Even so, I've enjoyed every bit of it and can't wait to do it all over again!
