Home sweet home
I was 68 years old when I built this log cabin to live in on my 40 acres in Oklahoma. The only power tool I used was a chain saw to fell the trees. The rest was all done with hand tools. The logs were squared off with the foot adze I am holding in the picture and the logs were then skidded through the woods by a jackass (ME). Some had to be dragged a quarter mile. The only help I had was a friend helping with the two top courses of logs. The wall was too high for me to do it by myself at that point. Everything is fitted together. The only nails are the ones that hold the roofing on. JUST LISTEN TO THAT OL' BOY BRAG. ;-] And look at all the junk he flung out the door. Why I believe that's a real live redneck.

Terms: Boring but we gotta have them
I hope you enjoy some of my tales and you are welcome to share them with friends or (better yet) refer them to this blog so long as you credit me under my pen name BILLY WHISKERS or this blog. What you are NOT welcome to do is reproduce or use them in any commercial manner. If you do that I'm comin to get you.
