Log Cabin with Flag

Posted by
Elaine Hancock (Olney, United States) on 4 July 2020 in Landscape & Rural.

Happy Independence Day. It seems like it would be a good time to pause and take time to reflect on our nation.
This cabin is one that was most commonly built between 1790 and 1860.

Very interesting log construction, Is the infill wattle and daub? The combination of virus and populism make for doubly challenging times. It is interesting that the governments doing the best all seem to be run by women. I hope the rest of the world takes note

@grouser: So I had to do a little research which was interesting. The gaps and openings between the logs were stuffed with anything that they could find including corn cobs, goat hair, manure. This was calling chink and chinking was the act of stuffing the gaps. Then came the daub which was used to cover the chink. Depending on the geographic location, it was a mixture of clay, lime dust, mud or Portland cement.

Happy Independence Day . Beautiful big log cabin ( log cabin for me means a quilt...!). I think many people of goodwill are thinking about what would be good for the nation . I hope they will soon be listened to ...
