"While Eric was a professional builder, the outside walls of log cabins provided him with new challenges, as well as a unique education. Each log had to be removed in a strategic order and numbered so when it was reconstructed, the grooves would fit perfectly. The fact that it was Carl's cabin made the process even more delicate. Eric wanted to salvage every log that he could, for they had encased the ideas and visions of some very great minds. More than once, Eric pondered what he would hear if those walls could talk."
