Part 3/7:

To tackle the peeling, Matt employed a tool called a draw knife, carefully aligning each log's knots as he removed the bark. After hard work, he managed to peel 67 logs, which he stacked up to dry, making them lighter for the next stages of the build. He was building on land he had personally purchased, a fact he cherished deeply, feeling grateful for his opportunity.

Laying the Foundation

Once the logs dried, Matt proceeded to the crucial step of measuring the foundation for his log cabin, contending with the hard, rocky soil typical of the Croatian landscape. He poured concrete and even took moments to enjoy simple pleasures, like eating, amidst the labor. With the logs now lighter, he began splitting them, preparing the foundation with precision.
