How does one even start to build a log cabin?
In Peter’s case, he took a course. A 10 week intensive course in Perth, Ontario where along with 10 other guys he lived, slept and ate Log Cabin Building five days a week. Under the tutulage of the Pat Wolfe Log Building School, Peter learned log carving, knotching, joining to name but a few. During the courses 10 weeks, participants usually build a cottage and in this case, Peter worked with the school to have the cabin that was built by the students be his own. The school agreed and so the cabin was first build in Perth and then disassembled to be rebuilt on our little lake. Apparently this assembly/dissassembly process is exceedingly common with log cabins as the skilled workers don’t have to travel constantly to different building sites but can stay in one location knocking out cabin after cabin.
