Last weekend we were out at the property finishing up those last few interior details. I had to chuckle when Bryant pulled out the leatherman to trim a little more off the door frame, and I said to him, "This is the shabin (shack/cabin combo) that was built with everything from chainsaws to pocket knives." Two and a half years ago, he used a chain saw to cut the holes out for the windows (October 2008 post: http://jillcaho.blogspot.com/2008/11/another-14-and-ill-have-it.html ).
The door trim gave him trouble because we used wood slabs to trim the corner. A few years ago, we bought a whole trailer full of slabs for $30 so Bryant could make log furniture for the house. I found a few extras in the bundle that were really nice pieces of wood, cleaned them up, and put them in our shed at our house thinking that some day we might find some use for them. As we were contemplating what to use for that corner trim in the cabin, I was reminded of those slabs with the cool burl sticking out and interesting knots. They did the trick and after finishing the other loft railing, we are ready to call it quits with the interior.
