    I'm almost 65 years old and upstate South Carolina has always been my home. I'm probably not very far away from you guys.
    I find your hard work, diligence and dedication very impressive.
    You have such a beautiful family and bring back many memories of my youthful years.
    Thank you for sharing your endeavors and having such passion for our local and surrounding communities.

      Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s amazing to hear from someone who’s been rooted in upstate South Carolina for so long-this area has such a special charm. We truly appreciate your support and are honored that our journey brings back memories of your youth. It’s inspiring to connect with people who share the same love for this community. Wishing you all the best, and maybe one day, our paths will cross right here in South Carolina! 😊 Merry Christmas .

    I just came across your channel and I am hooked. Over the years I've been blessed to restore several pieces of history like this, one of which was an old stone house originally built in 1792. Having done that I know what you are up against and I was glad to hear that you are starting with new logs as a foundation and incorporating the old logs as you can. It was a very wise decision. Too many times, I've seen people try to replace the damaged logs with new ones only to find out later that there was more damage than expected. While it's always great to preserve a piece of history fully intact when you can, as long as you use the same wood species, which should be common to your area, over time it will all look the same. With the stone house, which I rebuilt about forty years ago I built a stone addition on the side using rocks from the property. I drove by the place a few months ago and it looks like it was part of the original build. Again, great job!! And have fun!!!

      Thank you for sharing your experience’s . Right from the beginning I thought I would have to do this but I tried everything in order to avoid and only coming to a realization, I should’ve done this from the beginning. 😜

    I know you didn't want to tear this cabin apart to this level but I'm sure in the back of your mind you knew there was too much damage to a lot of the wood and it was just best to start over from foundation upwards and still preserving the history in the beauty of this cabin, and Merry Christmas to you and your family

    Привітик)) Hope your Christmas was super! Have you guys been to Hart Square Village in Vale, NC? Lots of 1700's buildings, and a couple log houses just like your's!! All buildings were disassembled and moved there.🏚️✨

      Привіт! 😊 Hope your Christmas was amazing too! We haven’t been to Hart Square Village yet, but it sounds incredible-especially with all those 1700's buildings and log houses! Definitely adding it to our list. Thank you for the recommendation!

      Будь ласка! There are some great videos on TH-cam about Hart Square Village. I think Hart Square is a good resource for rebuilding a log house. Happy New Year!🥂
