 I volunteer with the village museum club restoring an old smithy. They wanted me to help as I had some log building experience from before.
The smithy is of unknown age but it was considered old and of no value already around 1915. Five wall logs will be shifted out because of rot. The new logs will be hewn smooth after stacking in the traditional way.

I always like to see an old building preserved. :)

Are those rocks part of the foundation? They look big.

The smithy is halfways dug into a hillside.  Those big stones are what the hills consist of around here. Those particular stones apparently happened to be in the raight place so they were used as they were in the foundation when the smithy was built.
