Click above on the stage you interested in, I have many pictures taken during the construction hope fully these will help you better understand the techniques, used to accomplish a finished project. These pictures are mine and buy no means am I saying I know it all you are the boss do as you see fit .
Remember there’s two ways to learn, smart way and dumb way…..dumb way just do it your way cause you don't need no stinking plans or instructions. Or you don't want to call us and ask…... And you’ll learn !!…….. Smarter way, learn from seeing someone else making mistakes and learn watching them.

If you got to use siding...use cedar horizontally |

Use porch roof |
|
Use log gables their included...free |
|
Use overhang on roof |

Lower logs were oiled then some weren't, then fresh logs the following spring. GET A ROOF ON IT before winter. This guy wouldn't pay up. |

Rain and Rust damage |

Coat the hangers-nails |

Settling, some homes drop 6” per 8’ level, what's that do to with pluming, windows, leakage, uneven floors air leaks mice , rats ? ... THINGS THE SALESMAN DON’T TELL YOU.. Service ? Maitainaces? You got to educate your self and ask the right questions... Rick Hubble We figured out a user friendly system with a 1500 year life expectancy with no to little settling and air tight joints. No Jacks hidden in the posts and walls ??? |

Log Oils: Don’t use Petroleum products and pine, pitch, sap, natural resins aren't friendly together, oil floats out. Think synthetic and linseed oil ? UV refection: clears are less durable, heavy stain or paint in them lasts longer. ...remember wood expands and contracts night and day, wet and dry, hot and cold. You need a flexible coating, that sticks LINSEED? You choose. |
