Home sweet home

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.

Well I got the cat unstuck from the kitchen floor but I had to soak her down and use a spatula. The tile is nice and clean now but the cat's mad at me for soaking her down and now my old three legged dog is mad at me too cause the clean floor is too slippery for her to walk on. The only one that isn't mad at me is the Alzheimer Gal and that's prob'ly cause she doesn't know who I am half the time.
Speaking of the AG, she kind of loses control now and then so I have to keep her in Chucks. I was busy scrubbing the floor yesterday and she needed a change so she took care of it herself. The only trouble was she couldn't find the Chucks so she substituted a Vons plastic grocery bag. One leg through each handle. Of course they stuck at her knees and here she was trying to walk around wearing it. If you've ever hobbled a horse you get the idea. She walked like Charlie Chaplin without the cane.
Have fun. That's what it's all about.
