Subject: Grand kids Play Cabin/Swings ~

central - east central Minnesota -

Started a project during rain days earlier this summer . . . finely finished up the first stage. The modified log house was made with a bundle of 3x5 landscape log timbers, that I picked up off a online auction. Bought the ceder siding for the roof and several pounds of galv polebarn nails and PL400 glue. If I would do it over, I wouldn't use the landscape logs - they aren't cut right for such a project, I'd use sq 4x4's or 4x5's. Too many differing dementions in the lot of landscape logs. The other drawback to open spacing logs is it uses a lot of stain ! Being you have to stain all four sides!

Edit: Oh, I made it with fork - stake pockets. That way I can keep it under cover in the winter, and summer, bringing it out when the grand kids come and go. No need to mow around something if ya don't have to . ..

For next yr, I'll add a slide to the cabin and add a upper loft area. Man, I'd have sure hated to build my cabin back in the pioneer days - would'da taken me forever! lol

Grandma is happy now, at least for a while, so she can swing the baby.
