How is a cabin made?

The logs look like this when they arrive.
All of these pictures were taken on the builder's site.

Each log is hand-peeled by a guy hired to do only that.
Look at all of these shavings on the ground.

Joe and Lloyd are the builders.

The craftsmanship is amazing.  The logs fit together perfectly.

From the outside--the slits are where a door will be.

From the inside


The wall will be 12 feet tall when it's done.
Bruce helps to steady a log that was lifted into place by a forklift.
The guys then use a calipers to scribe where to cut the log so it fits just right.
