J & J Log Home

 course 8 completed. the middle and back girder logs are in and level. Next up is the center RPSL. We test fit it last weekend, but had to take it down to move the girder into place.   Also picked up some huge 1"x8" lag bolts for the girder brackets that or friend Jason is welding for us

 Jessica working hard pealing a log. Layla supervising, watching for critters in the yard. One more log on the back wall and course 8 is done. Then setting second floor girder logs.

 One more log, tomorrow after work, before the rain, and course 7 will be done. Then ready for second floor girder logs in course 8, and center rpsl

 We put the front and back Rpsl's in the other week before the walls got too high. Working on course 6.   Had a mouse walk through the yard as I was setting a log.

 We had a productive weekend last week, and set another 3 logs, and also got pea gravel spread in the crawlspace. Today I set log#17.  

 Our flight for vacation was delayed a day, so we came home and set log#13. Now that we are back, grabbed another log off the pile and moved it up front. No bark so just a little clean up of some knots and ready to set.

 The border is finally "open" without all the testing etc. Mom and Dad came down for a visit and to help for 4 days, it was great! We got most of the first floor joists installed, lots of drilling, nailing etc. We also set 2 logs, they were stubborn, needed rotated too many times, but we got them on, after a little bit of swearing lol. After work I finished the last of the floor joists.
