Six years had passed since I started this project. I rented scaffolding again, but this time for the outside, to caulk every crack and apply a beautiful protective stain to the entire house. Night and day, up and down the rungs and ladders I climbed, buttering the logs with my linseed oil concoction, until they glowed like the sunset. I wiped the baseboards with a tiny cotton T-shirt and laid it out to dry.On June 29th, 1995, the rag spontaneously combusted and burned the house down in two hours. I put the fire out with tears.

End of story ...... back to log one.

That would about kill me. I don't know if I would have the energy to rebuild.

I just read about her first build the burning and the start of the second build.
Phenomenal!!!
