House & Garden 
To get clean logs like these the 
timber should be cut in Winter 
U’hen the trees are dormant and 
the sap in the roots 
The wide overhang of the roof makes 
a splendid shelter for the porch and 
protects the doorway from driving 
rain and snow storms 
Above is an example of the 
stockade method of cabin build¬ 
ing, with vertical logs set on the 
heavy sill timbers 
An important thing about cabins is the 
view. From this cliff top porch, for in¬ 
stance, one gets a wide sweep over 
Lake Superior
