This 1920 “One Log Cabin” was built as a promotional gag for a Seattle logging company. It features an interior that’s fully kitted, although awfully dark owing to there not being any windows on the side. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t mind dropping a log at a campground, if you know what I mean.

Does it have WiFi? You could log on to the internet.
Is he holding his hat like that to hide his woody?
OK that’s all I’ve got. for now…-
It doesn’t have the right chip in the router for wifi.
-
No WiFi, but it does have a dedicated trunk line.
-
It’s a barrel of fun. It’ll run rings around a Winnebago, but it’s meant for those who go against the grain.
-
You could use the tree network, but I don’t think you could pass much through the firwall.
-
It has ultra-high-speed fiber internet service.
-
After this they branched out into treehouses.
-
The designer is barking up the wrong tree.
-
That does look interesting, but I’m not sure I’d want to log many miles in it.
-

I love the way the old photos were identified by literally scratching or painting the words onto the negative. the Log Cabin looks a little on the dark side for me.
-
Writing done with black ink (or any opaque ink) on the negative will look white on the print, as above. Scratches will instead look black.

I am happy to report that I have not had to put any oil in the 318ti since replacing the oil filter housing gasket and o-rings about 2500 miles ago. This is a vast improvement over the 1 quart per 300 miles I had been doing and gives it the title of “engine that uses the least oil” in my fleet. Not bad for 243,000 miles.

Cool! Glad that little E36 is working out for you. Generally the compacts are pretty fun in the snow, maybe take it out for some donuts if you have a chance.
-
Already have, although the traction control does a good job of cutting off the fun pretty quickly. Thankfully, it’s completely and easy defeatable via the dash switch.
I did have it a little tail happy the other day at 70 MPH on what appeared to be a dry and clear off ramp. I’m thinking the combination of the cheap and too narrow tires the PO put on, sub 20 temps, plus the RWD means that I need to show it a bit more respect than the Mazda3 demanded.

That’s a photoshop, I can see the pixels.

You got me all wrong, my apologies!
I took the freedom to highlight some of the pixels:-
So… that’s how they made the motor home.

I think this looks fantastic! Are trees of this size still being logged? Just yesterday, I was on a ski hike and passed a small cabin that was deliberately build like that. I was going downhill and didn’t stop for a photo, and Google doesn’t help. Other photos from yesterday – snow is good!:

I stopped seeing logs of that size being brought to the mills in my hometown (Gardiner, OR) in the mid-1970s. Our mills only produced plywood and kraft paper, however, so all I can really say from experience is that as of quite some time ago the big ones were no longer routinely being pulped or cut into veneer. In general, though, nearly all of what I see on the road these days is like this or smaller:

Looks much more reasonable in size – even though these trees are still huge. I went to several reservations with these huge-tree-forests in Canada in 2008. They’re quite a sight to behold.
-
We used to speak disparagingly of logs so small that a truck could haul more than two or three at once. Times have indeed changed.
-
Of course trucks these days are bilt by Peter, not KV, which may have changed things too…

During a motorcycle trip a few years back, I spent a night at a northern California motel that was built from a single tree. http://curlyredwoodlodge.com/history.htm

Photography skills, I have none. -
I saw a documentary recently about logging in Tasmania were they cut down a tree hundreds of years old that would have been close to this girth, they were/are still allowed to log old-growth forests to a limited extent. There have been trees found over 300′ tall down there (they don’t cut those down any more though).
Also, I wonder if this log is a single piece, due to the iron bands plus the difficulty of hollowing-out a log from the inside.
