My working title was simply “Log Cabin Corner Joints,” but I decided that it might raise false expectations. And thanks for having a look.

It’s usually the joint on the corner that’s most popular :)

I enjoyed it. It goes to show how industrious our early settlers were. Not only industrious but clever.

We had a house across the street change ownership this weekend. The new owners closed sometime Friday. They were there until the wee hours Saturday morning, then the whole family, parents, grandparents, aunts & uncles showed up to paint, clear shrubs (actually removed a tree) and do trimming both Saturday and Sunday. The owner didn’t leave until 2:30 am Sunday morning, then was back at 8.

I told the wife It’s rare these days to see families work together like that, rare but nice. It reminded me of how our early settlers worked together to raise buildings and homesteads. Your link was another reminder.
