The attic window is covered with a piece of plywood. And the window of the smaller room is covered with frost. Here you can also see "the bad corner" of the main part of the building. The four logs under the window, and one to the left of the window - they are slightly lighter in colour, compared to the gray logs higher in the wall. Those lighter logs have two names written on them, and a year 194X (I can't exactly tell what the last number is). As the building itself dates back to about 1905, I guess those lighter logs were replaced in the 40's. All in all, the logs aren't in a perfect condition. If I'd choose to replace all the not-so-good parts, I would end up completely rebuilding the whole house. So, instead I just patch the house hoping it will last for some 30 years more...
This picture is taken before I started installing 25mm thick fiberboard on the east wall of the entrance hall.
