First course of logs are layed out and attached to the floor. Rough opening framing for windows and doors are installed while stacking the logs. This helps keep the walls plumb. An expanding foam tape is placed on one tongue, caulk on the other. Each log is lag screwed into the course below.
Logs are about halfway up.
Note our new sales office in the background and the logs in wrapped bundles in the foreground. Logs are usually sent in 16 foot lengths, which can be handled easily by two people. Longer lengths are available. Near the top of the wall, installing lag screws two foot on center. Using a crane, the massive ridge beam is put into place.
