This is the Girder Log to hold up the 2nd floor.

It is been really fun seeing your progress with those big logs.

I have to say that I've never seen a modern cabin built that way, everything these days is at least milled to fit on the bottom of each log at a log home factory and then they assemble them on site. I'm looking forward to learning a different way to do it as I watch this thread. It is going to be impressive when it's done!

Thanks. I wanted to do an old-school type log home. I have nothing against kits, but I do believe there are advantages to this method. It's a lot more work, but that's one of the reasons I'm doing it - for the journey. How many people build a log home from bare logs at 64 years of age. It's keeping me young!

What size rebar are you using?

 

[BoFuller]

#4 1/2 inch
Plans call for every 42 inches, but we are averaging every 32.
