Update

Since my last post we have made a lot of progress on the house.

  • First, we finished bleaching and treating all the logs.
  • We measured all of the logs and categorized them. 
  • We had the foundation backfilled.
  • We set our lifting poles that we will use to....Wait for it...lift the logs into place! We need to think of a fancier name other than lifting pole. 
  • We passed inspection on our foundation.
  •  We began cutting the 4x12s that we are going to use for the rafters and joist for the second floor. 
As soon as we finish cutting the 4x12s we will be ready to have the logs and rafters graded. After that we will be ready to begin stacking logs.
