*****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

*****DAY TWO*****

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

while we still have a level area before assembling the Log Walls

Now we start re-assembling the Log Walls round by round

The re-assembly team hard at work now

We are now up to the Header Logs 'ROUND 8 '
