We were told this was a CCC cabin at Lyman Run. It would have been hauled 8 or 9 miles to get where it’s sitting now. The guy that built our garage is supposed to be renovating and building an addition on the right hand side. He’s supposed to be starting this summer. Apparently there’s a sleeping loft in it now. The people in the cabin on the left hand side own it and are fixing it.
I’ll have to post progress pictures as it happens.
I'd probably wear a football helmet to bed, especially if the wind is blowing. Yes, please post progress pictures. Sometimes, it's just easier to start over.......this might be one of those times.
Even places with deep pockets get in over their heads on projects like these...
This house, located here in Crockett Park, was slated for renovation...they disassembled it to replace rotted timbers and right now all that's standing are the two fireplace chimneys. Kinda reminds me of some truck projecs I've run across!
Maybe it’s not rotten. I was surprised how good the wood was under the shingles on our old cabin. This one has a metal roof, it’s probably good. The foundation has moved or collapsed under it would be my guess. About 7 or 8 years ago we fixed 5 piers under my family’s cabin. They were 2’x2’x2’ stackable concrete cubes. They’re starting to tip and move.
I’m guessing he’ll start by fixing the foundation and leveling the cabin.

This sounds like the building equivalent of 'jacking up the radiator cap and driving a new truck under it'.
Thanks for sharing, Dennis, looking forward to progress updates. For sure he's got his work cut out for him.
Funny the CCC would be mentioned here. I never knew anything about it but found a 50th anniversary token in my late Mothers stuff this week. Went on the web to see where the token might have come from but had no luck so I don't know why she would have it.

That is a neat 50th anniversery medallion.
Here is a statue of a CCC worker at Hyner View State Park, which many of you at the Central PA truckstock have seen.
The Hyner Lookout and the road to the lookout was built by the CCC. Many of our state parks in PA are at former CCC camps or were built by CCC workers.
An old family friend had the remains of a 35-36 Chevy 1.5 ton truck that he was certain to be a CCC truck. The gov’t did buy fleets of those for that purpose.
