By notching them on the underside and sloping off the corners on the top, the joint will shed rainwater. It's a brilliant design that was probably learned by trial and error over generations.

You could save those logs with 50/50 mix of turpentine and linseed oil. That structure looks sound with a little sagging on the second floor.

My cabin burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light.

May Edna St. Vincent Millay pls forgive me

I was helping out picking up trash in a local stream with my Boy Scout Troop today. I won the "most unusual thing found" award. An old pocket watch, with a bullet hole through it.

It looks as tho it's an Ingersoll Equinox Pocket Watch
The link below has a similar one ("in good working order") @ $45

But it's not nearly as interesting as one with a bullet hole that came out of a river!

This is what it once looked like and you can get information on how to date it here.

Yeah. There's no serial number anywhere. But I bet it's from somewhere around 1930 to 1960. And was shot more recently than that.

It's like a Rorschach test. Everyone has their own story. Mine involves someone being frustrated with a broken cheap watch and setting it in the crotch of a tree for target practice.

But a few people think it was in a pocket when it was shot. We'll never know.

You can market it on eBay as a zombie pocket watch. Someone will buy it.
