-5 cel but sunny. Thanks for all your excitement and willingness to help. we are excited also. We installed the floor joist and sheeted with 2 x 8, then started making wall logs. Had hotdogs & beans. The longer hours of daylight are really helping us out. Dusk at 9:30pm. When we applied for this line cabin site we made sure there was enough wood within a 50 feet reach of cabin. Trapper line cabins in the north are traditionally left unlocked and the code of the Bush says treat it with respect and leave kindling & wood for the next guy who might need emergency shelter.

Well done guys you are cracking on with all your jobs on the cabin.Ever since I was a little boy I loved log cabins there are very few in scotland.So I wait and watch, you build your line cabin and im enjoying every part .Ihope the weather stays on your side :)Brian(:
ReplyDeletelooks like progress is being made. not easy work but its a learning experience watching the step by step developements. i also find log homes to have a certain feel about them.a realness and connection. up in north carolina where we go from time to time they are popular in the country and mountains.i think alot of people assemble them from kits. so its alot different working from scratch.you mentioned using balsam wood. is that pretty weather resistant and long lasting. ken
ReplyDeleteAmazing progress you guys.
ReplyDeleteSo are all these 2x's made from the Alaskan sawmill?
This has already been awesome to watch. My Alaskan Mill has been sitting unused since I bought it two years ago. This will motivate me to get that and the big Stihl to work.
ReplyDeleteI remain impressed by your innovation and work ethic.
hi Ken. Balsam is a fir, very similar to spruce or jackpine. It is not like the wood they make model planes in.
