Nice job Ryan,looks a  little different than Spring Hill.I was in on a cabin raising in Tenn years ago it was a learning experience for sure.The main thing I learned is how much shrinkage goes on.So leave room above the windows and have at it.congrats on the new family member hope and pray for the best for you and yours.

aero-  all pine trees, its all we have in the Bull Mountains, just pine and  small cedars.

El Destructo, I'm using 3/8 rebar pins 12-16" long  i pin the corners ends and every 4 or 5 feet. everything seems really solid I'm pleased with it so far. I  drill a pilot hole through the first log and just a bit into the second. the rebar fits really tight in the pilot hole and then i hammer it home into the bottom log....i know one thing for sure....they aint coming out..lol

No....especially once them rebar oxidize a bit....there will be no pulling them loose...My Great Grandfather built His Homestead in Humboldt Township in Upper Michigan back in the early 1800's...built a 8 Room Log House and two Barns and a Blacksmith Shop...all of the Buildings were made from Tamarack...Square Hewn...and pinned like there was no tomorrow...well We lost the Place back in the early Eighties....the two Barns were demolished...well they tried to demolish them ...with a D-6 Cat...and could not push them over....they ended up burning them down instead...they were built that solid...the Roofs were bad...but the Building were still so sound a Dozer could not do them in....I believe that You will have a Place that will last you and yours a lifetime...and then some....good luck and God Bless....

Very nice build and surroundings indeed!

I was wondering about how you gonna proceed the floor. It seems like you live in a dry climate, we can't (or don't) build like you around here it's too damp and cold. We have to elevate the whole building from the ground.
