That's just awesome!  A log house has always been my dream home.  I love seeing them, especially those put together with your own two hands.

Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive:
Thanks very much guys

TBod-  yea its pretty dry here, we are close the divide in montana and its breaks and badlands to the east and snowy, rocky mountains to the west.
the logs themselves dont touch ground at all, its all on stone footers and walls but the floor will touch..but i am gonna cheat a little bit too, i am gonna use pressure treated lumber for the floor trusses, PT lumber lasts for ever out here. lots of people out this way use regular pine lumber or even logs with the bark still on for floor trusses...i'm not that brave.

TBod:
Ok thanks.

By the way it's against the rules to use PT lumber as trusses in my country (Sweden). Some did it back in the late seventies out here, put them directly on the concrete and stuff. They started to smell pretty bad after some time. Just thought I should tell you.

I would go for Pine for trusses and put some tarpaper or something where they touch ground.
