Rotten log repair

For my expertise in log crafting, I was called to join a venture on an island in Lohja to fix an old log mansion.

The place was beautiful and there was a lot of work to do..

The main concern was the back wall of the main building.. But since the damage was not that bad, and we chose that we will put a door there with a terrace for the lake shore, we moved to fix the "small" house that was a bit smelly.

 After some disassembly we could see the variety of construction errors, and chose to redo the whole porch.

 The column on the left (or what is left of it) shows the seriousness of the damage with moisture, and pretty much everything had to bee changed.

 We also opened the wall a bit to see how the damage was worse then originally thought.

 It was this bad..

Actually far worse :D

 Took out the monster..

 And replaced it with a good one we got from the neighbor.

 

 Then the hard part, fit one between!

 :) Like new-old!

Drilling and filling like any dentist!

That's gonna hold it!

 The old house thanking in its own way!

Only one more thing to do..

To enjoy the evening, sauna, the lake and the Finnish summer!
