It all started with a local newspaper add, giving a house away by someone in the nearby community of Bourget. Little did we know that this old 1890 clapboard construction, desperately in need of a facelift, was hiding underneath its fatigued façade, a pièce-sur-pièce log home, traditional of log homes built by our French Canadian ancestors. The house was moved to our property in January 2007, and from there began a major restoration project, which included recycling of many of its original materials, and countless hours of work.
