Rear wall of the Brush House, Pine Plains, NY. Made from Oak logs hewn square. The upper logs are over 40 feet long.
A logging bee involving Wm Pickering, Snell, Stevenson and Morrison men. Donald Snell is the child on the log next to the saw, which dates the picture about 1902 if he was 4.
Ever wonder what it takes to build a log house. These are pictures of the entire construction of our house from October 2006 to Nov 2007. It might take me a few days to put them all up, so if you're looking at these as I am posting them, check back for the rest.
I'll add these all to me log home set, so it might be easier to click that set to the right and go from there (I'll try to get them in order the best I can).
If you have any questions about the construction, feel free to ask. I was there pretty much everday and then I was there everyday after I fired our general contractor and had to finish his work myself.
Feel free to leave comments.

This large piece was balanced like a seesaw on that smaller piece. Here I used my weight to keep Gerald's end up while he cut it.

Making the slope shallower than I originally planned. Added 2 support trusses - it was bending a bit under my weight as I was sat up there hammering away.
