Our grandparents brought much of this culture and technology to America when they came. There are still lots of original buildings here in Minnesota built like this. The dovetail corner joints and using moss to seal the lines are very distinctive. This method is so much better for cold climates than some of the rough log homes seen on KZitem and elsewhere.Kiitos!

Guy in the black shirt looks about 65-75 years old but his body build & posture looks like he's in mid-30s. Working in the office makes you look&feel like 75 when you're 35.

The early Finn's who settled southern New Jersey in the 1600s brought exactly this kind of craftsmanship with them.

I was married to a Finn for 25 yrs. Did you notice they don't say much to each other, but seem to know what the other is going to do? Pretty good team work. Beautiful craftsmanship.

These gents have skills, but don't let this quick 25 minute video fool you. It actually took them a little longer to complete the build. They started at 0700, and were done that evening just in time for dinner.

In the old days people came together to help families build homes for people in their community. And it brought us together as people ,helping one another. Now days we're lucky if a neighbor waves hi to us when we come home. Life has changed so much, now. I think they actually valued the good people they knew.

This is art! Tears in my eyes! That floring is out of this world and the rest of it too. Thank you Finland for bringing some of this knowledge to Norway but seeing this theres no doubt that you are the masters and that we know nothing compared to this!

My grandfather was pure Finnish. His family came to America around 1900. He worked hard and built his own business from nothing. I respect him and all Finnish people. I wish I was more in touch with this side of my heritage.

From this video you can really understand why the finnish word for carpenter is kirvesmies (axe man).
