We started our foundations the spring of 1992. We have done the construction from start to finish. My brother Danny & a cousin Larry Luton helped in logging & most of the building process.
We got the entire family involved at times.
The only thing harder than working with concrete must be peeling logs!

The first two cabins. Notice all of the logs in the foreground that need to be peeled.

Coping the plate log which lays over the loft logs.
-
Notice all of the copes that have to be fit on this plate log. Once the log is finished being coped we roll it over into place. The copes fit over rather than up so that they do not collect water.
