Cabin Coming Down!

The first log came down last Friday. Though I would ideally prefer a team of work horses and hoists to use for the disassembly process, I will settle for a modern cherry picker. Pictures are as follows: 1) Heather on the cherry picker. 2) Larry preparing to chain the first log. 3) The cabin from the back of the property (surrounded by "progress"). 4) The Holston River, which forms the back boundary of the property--175 years ago, there was an iron works/nail factory (Pactolus Ironworks) about 1/4 mile away on the river. The first nails used in the cabin were likely made there.
