Larry,

It is the steam boiler. The picture was taken before I put the top on it. I turned the top out of pine on my wood lathe...

Tell your wife thank you for me. Our shifts were 24 on 48 off.

Inside the log house the lady wanted rope trim around all the corners and doors and windows,, only photo I could find of the rope trim

This is where I was replacing the rotted shake roof with metal roofing. this photo is some years after the log house build

The lady wanted a barn ,,so this is what I built for her

Then the lady wanted a secret bunkhouse inside the barn so this is what I came up with doors to look like just a storage room in a barn.

This is the insides of the bunk house with a kitchen ,visiting room ,bed room

Man, that cabin is neat. I didn't expect to see that much room in the bunkhouse... What a hide away...
