SAVING AN OLD LOG CABIN IN THE MAINE WOODS (with a dog) | Cabin Restoration
Ойын-сауық
In 2018 when I paddled the St. John River with Gracie, we came across the old cabin at Flaws Bogan. An old Maine Forest Service cabin from the 1930's/40's. It was in rough shape and in need of maintenance so after completing the river trip I contacted North Maine Woods. The director agreed to hire me to make the repairs necessary to preserve the cabin. This is the video documenting the work I did to the cabin. #logcabin #offgrid #cabinbuilding
Thanks for watching!

I’m there now! I’m about 15 miles northwest of Kokadjo. I’ve been staying at my ex-bro-in-law’s hunting cabin, a refugee from the Covid mayhem and draconian laws in NYC. At the moment, I’m in Millinocket to pick up some supplies.

You and Gracie remind a 70 year old of all the adventures she had right up to her large teens before movi g to the UK for ever. Well done Cory, may God keep you well.!
I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package kzread.infoUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.
Im 63 and fixed up many cabins none that easy!
very beautiful.
Fond memories of spending time in deer camp cabins like this when I was a child.. an awesome project and great results.. it's ready for another 100 years, or until the Lord comes. "Yea, even so, come quickly Lord Jesus."

No way, so glad I stumbled on your channel and then I see your PO Box is right in Skowhegan which is 40 minutes from where I live on my farm in Corinna. Small world here in Maine. Can't wait to see more videos and follow along!
Fantastic job men! What a slice of heaven. Forfathers are smiling down on you.
That baby moose is just to precious, hello from Wisconsin!
My father grew up in these woods. It's nice to the old forest service cabins restored. Granpa was the bookkeeper/paymaster for Tom Pinkham, a big lumber company. He lived right out there, so to pay the men and tally the board footage.

Considering the type of elements that the cabin has to endure while sitting idle for many months, it is amazing it has survived at all. Nice rehabilitation work... it looks nice and should serve the public for many decades to come.

I will repeat a comment that I made a month ago. Your volunteer work is a testament to us all. Even though I do not live in Maine, I hope that your example sparks other restorations throughout the country. As you know, I related your work to Dick Proenneke’s cabin experience. You have left a lasting mark for probably a few decades if Maine keeps the cabins up. You are a Pioneer young man. And I, for one, am very proud and happy to see you undertake this huge project. If I had done what you did, I imagine my first thought would be…..Yeah….wow….Gracie and I accomplished a lot”. The my second thought, and I think this is in your spirit Cory, would be….where else am I needed. We need more good people like you out there setting an example. I am not a religious man, but I appreciate that your beliefs, and attention to scripture has embolden you, and helped. What ever works is good. Thank you for the video.

Liam, thank you for the comment, I appreciate you watching, I have to clarify two things here, first I was hired for these projects and I was paid so it wasn’t volunteer work in that regard, second I’m not religious either, I’m just a sinner saved by grace, thank you sir

And yet another masterpiece! One little scenario that captured my heart. Gracie had a piece of moose antler in her mouth which she has been playing with occasionally, LOL. When the brown Lab came closer to her she just took that in her mouth and moved away kinda saying, Nuh Uh, this mine. Beautiful work which reminded me of the verse: Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Was very nice to see friends working together in unity. The powerful word of God that I experienced. "For when I am weak, then am I strong- God has been so good to me. This is a testimony itself. God bless you Corey and may His Holy presence be with you and Gracie always.
