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 is actually an old rail road tie, that lines the lane to our cabin.
The red things were coming off the tree buds.
Hocking Hills, OH

Eureka, Nevada
Constructed in 1865 of massive pinion pine logs that grew near Eureka before they were cut for charcoal. It is the first home built in Eureka.
Marker:
A lot of logging takes place where residents sell their property in order to receive profit off of their lumber. I am sure the money is nice, but they don't realize what they are doing to the beautiful resources of Eastern Kentucky. I belive there should be a limit set on how much land a landowner can sell for logging purposes. If there was a limit set then you would be able to drive five miles without logs lying beside the road. Its a sad sight to see hundres of trees being dragged out of our hills everyday.
I was scared shitless getting this shot. Waves everywhere.

Log burning in the fireplace of my place and just taking pictures of the fire as it glows, changes, and illuminates the log.
Logs somewhere on the Kokosing Gap Trail.
Shot with the Frankenshica on expired Fuji Velvia 50. Then cross processed at home in C41 chems.
MLK Jr. Blvd - Highway 80 appeared to be the main thoroughfare for moving logs to a mill. Apparently the timber business is booming there.

I wanted to play around with log cabin blocks, so I set about making some with simple solids. My mistake was making the blocks all the same in assembly-line fashion, which ended up being counter-productive to my original plan as the identical blocks were difficult to get into any pleasing arrangement without the final rows of color -- the blue and the yellow -- becoming a prominent design element. Vern suggested this Flying Geese arrangement and I agreed it was a satisfactory completion to the experiment-gone-awry. This work is machine-pieced, hand-quilted and measures 36" X 43".
