A Round on The House

That's what they call it when you put a layer of logs on ..."a round". It's expected we will be putting on 14-16 rounds, plus purlins, stairs, rafters, posts and the like and that's about 70 logs. That's a lot of peeling.




Luke is doing most of the peeling with his brother. Tough work.

So the first round is on. I've been told that this is the most important round, as if you screw this one up you really have no chance of recovery.

The corners are formed with a chainsaw then smoothed with a disc sander. It goes faster than I thought. They form about 4 corners per hour, but only get up maybe 2 logs per day.

After the log is laid, the ends are trimmed.

john is about the most comfortable guy I have ever met with a chainsaw in his hand. Unlike most other woodworkers he even has all his fingers.

I got totally dissed by this goat on the way home. I yelled insults at him, and asked if he wanted a ride but got totally ignored. He was like an embarassed teenager getting dropped off at school by his doating mom. Goats, hmmm???
