The Campfire Trail: October 12 - DIY Homestead - Installing the Log Siding Video at the Cabin

October 12, 2022

Day 377 of the Adventure

According to the radar, there is a rain moving in on us that will likely disrupt my morning fire. I will still make the most of it before it gets here. The cabin has taken a turn towards a "finished" look, at least at the front entry. Once we got this part of the cabin sided with logs and cleaned up most of the construction mess, we couldn't help ourselves, we had to add some special features. Shelley and I have been hauling around a set of Moose antlers for years waiting for the right place for them. We've found the right place. Right above the entry door to the cabin. Along with a metal Base Camp Resort and Cabin Co sign. Of course, this won't be all of the outdoor decorations we will use here, but it's a start. More importantly, if you want to see the process of installing the siding, we have a video on that as well, for your entertainment. Just click the link below.....
