Log siding in need of repair. In some cases the original siding is coaxed back into place with improved fasteners, and when this isn't possible it is replaced by hand tooling new siding to match the original piece. The work of cutting and shaping the new pieces is taking place right in front of the Kolb Garage, where the public can view it.  ::*GCA Photo by Terri Attridge.
Project
