Hand woven Linsey-Woolsey bed coverlets made by David’s Great Grandmother on the Webster County farm, late in the 1800’s In the end the home is the perfect balance of old and new features,that keeps its warm rustic appeal. As this was not David and Patricia’s primary home they took their time to make their dream retirement home come true. Nearly two years later Mark and his crew delivered the logs from the Lewisburg log yard to the new home site where a new foundation had been constructed.The work to construct a new log home continued over the next 5 years. By the end of the first week the 150 year old logs were dismantled, loaded and trucked away to a storage yard in Lewisburg, WV. Mark Bowe (before “ Barnwood Builder” Fame) found the project promising and within a few months had his crew (some that are still members of the “Barnwood Builders” television show today) dismantle the house.
Then they found Mark Bowe the owner of “ Antique Cabins and Barns” in Lewisburg, West Virginia who would be charged with dismantling and moving the heavy logs. With some searching the couple found a nice location for the future log home outside the small town of Beverly, West Virginia. As with all houses of this age, water and bugs (termites here in W.V.) can wreak havoc on old logs.
After tare down and the reconstruction of the Cutlip log home with help from Mark Bowe.īy the end of 2009 David and Patricia began the work of finding out if the logs of the house were salvageable.
