Our crew hard at work!

Sure is a "bright" idea!

For the Folks Who wanted to see my Log Cabin

Ever since I began chronicling the birth of the Nail Jack and of course the Nail Hunter nail pullers, long before our tools began to sell at the wonderful Amazon.com and (finally) find their way into people's homes, I talked quite a bit about the little log cabin we call home in Idaho. Today, I thought I would share a few pictures of this truly "one of a kind" place we call home.
First, a few outside pics...

Now for some inside photos of a log cabin built by hand by one guy who employed the help of a few friends from time to time to "lift the other end" but who primarily gutted this project out himself for about three years (as I've disclosed before, his name was Tom Cooper)

There is now NO reason to throw away wood!

There are so many wonderful people out there fighting hard to get reuse to the top of thousands of municipalities' agenda. There are programs getting powerful support every single day across this country to find a place for wonderful perfectly good building parts that used to be bulldozed and plowed back into the earth in the interest of TIME and MONEY! There actually can be very positive things that come out of economic downturns and recessions.

Some cities, counties and even states are now requiring a well thought out plan for the responsible deconstruction of our nation's former wasteful view of any structure that is no longer "needed" for one reason or another. Many companies are shifting their main objective to a very aggressive environmentally responsible reuse. There is a 90+% potential for the recycling of a structure's refuse! Jobs can be created to the tune of 250,000 while actually taking this process from a waste causing landfill clogging process to a cash creating process!
