Subject: Maintaining historic log buildings
Norskedalen has a collection of about 20 original log buildings from the 18
50's thru 1890's. They, of course, require quite a bit of upkeep and maint
enance. Our board has been working to develop a policy that would guide the
decision making in terms of repairs to the buildings. As usual, it comes
down to balancing time, money, availability of materials and historical int
egrity. There are a range of opinions from the "get 'er done" by whatever
is most cost/time efficient to the 'every nail must be authentic'. I would
be interested in hearing from other organizations that have gone through o
r are going through similar discussions. I would also appreciate being poi
nted to resources for authentic log building preservation.
Thanks,
Diane
