This may look like a typical log cabin, but it has a secret inside: It's actually logs stacked on top of a shipping container!
Shipping Container: Before
The container has arrived on the boneyard ready to be transformed into a new home.
Shipping Container: After
The shipping container has been fully transformed into a rustic retreat. Long bow fiddler champion, Kelly Jones, and guitarist friend Howard Marshall play bluegrass music near the newly built cabin and a roaring fire, as seen on Barnwood Builders.
