Seen here is another construction technique of the early European immigrants to the colonies in America. This technique includes alternating which wall segment continues into the corner, thus improving the structural integrity of the building. This technique is centuries old, and yet it can still be seen in new building construction projects today.

Seen here is a construction technique of the early European immigrants to the colonies in America. These immigrants brought with them their log cabin making skills. Among these skills included the floor joist notching. You can see on the side of the log cabin that there are notches cut out of the wall in which joists that support the floor, and potentially a loft, where placed.
