good crew there

looks like a real cozy place


the big question i had was how much time transpired between downing
the trees and finishing the cabin

i guess the logs probably sat for 5-6 months before using


5 or 6 months may be the best conditions. But I believe if you check
the old history books, ie Like Parin's Histories of various counties in
th mid west US, you will find they did not wait that long.
In many of these incidences they arrived in the Spring or early summer,
fell the trees and built thier cabins because they need the shelter for
the coming winter months.

I believe you will also see the same thing in the history of Alaska, and
people who go to Alaska today and go native.

Of course these cabins were sometime considered temporary until they
were able to aford the time to build their permanent cabin.
