We were tasked with returning it back into a window, which we accomplished using all split cedar planks and trim, along with a window sash procured from an architectural salvage supply. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pnw #washington #sanjuanislands #pnwonderland #cabin #heritagesite #heritagecabin #logcabin #loghome #logbuilding #logschool #cabinporn #cabininthewoods #historicalcabin #historicalstructure
