Settlement Day!


Not too bad for a bunch of Turfheads!  Just a quick history... This log structure once stood next to a home on Hemlock Road, just off Happoldt Drive as you approach the 4th green from the Clubhouse.  The structure was going to be hauled away and disposed of due to a renovation taking place at said residence.  We were graciously offered the log cabin with the stipulation we would have to move it.  Shortly thereafter, Chad and I labeled every single log and it's location, creating a 10-page laminated book that acted as our instruction manual on how to piece it back together.  It was adult Lincoln Logs!  Needing a small storage building at the Farm, we poured a concrete slab, built a block foundation and then erected the building.  It spent last summer without a roof since we ran out of time last spring to roof the structure.  This past fall, we got back around to it and not only added a roof, but also rock veneer to the block pillars and foundation, which was completed this afternoon.  There is only one aspect of the project left but it's not critical.  That is chinking between the logs.  I never saw how that process is done, so it is something I look forward to learn.  Once we get a load of sod, we will grass around the building and maybe even add some understated landscaping.  Who knows, maybe one day this could be a short term rental if I don't decide to use it as my full time residence?
