On May 6, 2009, after standing proudly for more than 50 years on Gilman Island in the Connecticut River, Dartmouth College's Titcomb Cabin burned to the ground. Follow us this summer as we work to rebuild it.

Day 4: Logs Done
Finally! We finished peeling all 97 logs this morning. We spent the entire day peelin yesterday, and things were pretty grim when we got to the spruce logs that we should have peeled two months ago. Thankfully we got through that, and were back to red pine for the final stretch. Things were getting pretty competitive with the end in sight, and Jordan and I had our system down to a science and were cranking them out two to one compared to Max and Greg. After lunch, we went back to the island and resumed our cleanup efforts. Jordan went to town on the chimney with a sledge hammer, while the rest of us started digging out the old concrete footings that the cabin sat on.
