Recycling logs from our many tobacco barns and cabins built 100+ years ago with native chestnut before the blight go into a lot of homes in the "Log McMansion" gated communities nestled in the mountains. My cabin (100+ year old chestnut log and rough-hewn board siding) was built from chestnut right on this property - still get shoots from the huge old trunks that just don't rot. Barn siding is also popular to panel dens and basements. And we've a regular big business in virgin salvage logs from the Neuse and Cape Fear Rivers, those that sunk into the mud 200 and more years ago when they were floated to mills in the coastal region. Great eco-friendly industry! Hi, Sandy!
