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.

Durn that Jody anyhow

You kids best get to your homework. Ain't Jody home yet? He done what!!? Throwed somethin at a skunk? Then what? The skunk throwed somethin back. Quick run lock the doors. Don't let him inta the house. I'll go strip him down and burn his clothes. Gimme that old ragged dog blanket there. He kin wrap up in that till your ma gits home from waitressin at the Feed 'N Fuel truck stop. One a you younguns call there and tell her to bring home a couple gallons of tomato juice. Tell her we'll be out in the barn. We got to scrub this boy down with it. I swear one of these days I'm agonna sell that boy off to the circus if they'd have him. He's a natural born calamity on two legs.
OH LORDY. Look what's comin up the path. Quick Jody. Head for the barn!!!
