*****DAY
ONE*****
This Log house is now at the finished Log Shell
stage in our yard, we now clean the logs with a high pressure
washer to remove all construction
Dust, Dirt & Oil's,we then we apply a Quantum
Aquatec Pre Coat Stain to all logs to protect the surface during
transport and re-assembly stage,
this also is the first stage of treatment for the
exterior stain.
The following photos will inform you of the
process that is involved in the
disassembly and re-erection of the Log Home to
its permanent site.
Here is the Log Sub-Floor to accommodate two
Bedrooms and a Bathroom
Prior to completing the Log Shell our Log
Craftsmen built this 'Traditional Neck Down Scribe
Fit Log Truss',
with traditional Mortise & Tenon joinery, We
managed to get a great scare tree for the King Post of the
Truss
The Truss is now finished and will be pulled
apart for transportation to be erected on site
We are now ready to start loading the truck
A few more rounds to go
When we have two rounds of Log work left we then
scarf the log for the Power Points where the owner has requested
them to be
almost finished loading in the Log Yard

We now install our Ant capping and Drip Edge for
water runoff, one of the first thing to get done is the re-assembly
