Here are photos of the Overland House rebuild (see prior posts of the disassembly). I began with stonework in mid July, and am finally at the point of wrapping up for the winter months. I replaced the bottom course of logs, and other than a bit of warping and twisting, the building went up as planned. Believe it or not, we raised every last log by hand. Thank god for friends.
