THE CABIN






She lived in the cabin when she was young, and said that her father built a lot of it. She said that it is much older than 1945. That’s the year they put in the bathroom. Before that, she said there was a privy up the hill. She thinks that the old house probably burned down at some point (prior to her lifetime) because she feels like the new house was built around the existing fireplace. She mentioned that there used to be stone masons up there, and she thinks they probably built it. She also said that the indoor and outdoor fireplaces share a common flue, so be sure to put a grate up to prevent critters from entering the house.
