There was a neighbor of mine who used local rock, sand, and gravel,
mixed with bagged cement, in a wheelbarrow and did a continious poor of
a complete daylight basement and 8ft walls on a 16'X24' cabin. He also
builtin all the mansonry for a double flue chimney with fireplaces in
the basement and first floor. The cabin is built out of local 10"
Spruce logs, set in place with a ginpole derrick, block & Tackle rig
using a local tree as a spar. No electrical devices, were used in any
of the construction.
A Picture of the cabin is on my website <

Bert Stewart is a one of a kind guy, and this was the last cabin
in a series of cabins that he built over his lifetime. He also
doesn't believe in Gasoline engines, and rowed a dory 5 miles
down the Inlet every week to pick up his mail. One really tough old
bird. All that bagged cement was rowed up the inlet as well.......
