Working Logs
Logs are an important part of our lives on Powell Lake. First, they form booms that provide us with protection from storm waves and wakes from passing boats, and mark our leased water lot.
Logs are the support structure for our floating cabin. Forty-foot cedar logs are lashed together for the foundation. On top of the main float logs, which provide buoyancy and stability, vertical braces (pony logs) create a flat surface for the decking and cabin floor.
Thanks for looking at my log pictures. Stay for awhile, take a look at my index, there's lots more to see. Or go to www.PowellRiverBooks.com for more information about our stories. -- Margy

ReplyDeleteAn answer for deemom -
ReplyDeleteOur cabin was built by our good friend John in 1998 and we purchased it in 2001. We have made some additions and changes with John's help. You can read more about our cabin in the categories "Float Cabin Living" and "Float Cabin Construction." John is building a new cabin right now from the waterline up. I will be writing more about it as it happens. Thanks for asking. - Margy
