I bring all four walls up to the same height (8 feet) and install the second 27 foot log extending over the front porch. On the woodstove, I cook rabbit stew in a cast iron pot

SHAWN & OUR CALI were did OUR CALI go is she on vacation with Misses James? Am wondering and thinking of OUR CALI no no one to keep you busy in throwing the toys! I like the cabin building don't get me wrong SHAWN I LOVE TO BUILD! Did about 200 sticks 1 inch wide and 20 inches long for you sent them on out and then they came back it was because they were WOOD and not to be sent over land lines! Thought it was dumb at first! So I still got them here for you! Had a oak tree that went down and I thought that was for you! Take Care let us know about OUR CALI when you were gone I pray a lot for you thought you were sick or Misses was sick! See you do have some of us out there that Listen and watch with you being a part of the family!

Quite the acrobatic maneuver's with those logs Shawn as you wrestle them to the top of those run's. I thought to myself how the heck is he gonna manage getting those logs up to the last run, by himself? Your a legion Shawn, how you manage to achieve those feats I found to be quite impressive. I must admit, I thought for sure you'd have to build some sort of scaffolding to get to where your at thus far in this build but nope you still managed to achieve it. That's quite the job Shawn, i'm impressed.

Shawn I have been watching your cabin build since the beginning and wondering what the inside
dimensions are going to be. My cousin and I built a small log cabin in Gaspe Quebec when we were
teens so I appreciate the amount of work there is to it. Your build is much more refined than ours
was. Your Cali is such a wonderful dog. Sure is nice to see you getting help from your family.
Have a great day and I will continue to enjoy your build.

This morning i was prepared with a cup of tea and honey. and two bagels with cheese and turkey. Because when you start the cooking. i know we all get hungry. Nice work as always hanging them heavy logs. Glad i am retired because you make me tired watching you hoist them heavy ones. Can't wait for the final log. Thankyou for your efforts and the great camera work you both do.

How are you making the slot that the angle iron fits into? You haven't showed that part yet. Are you cutting it by hand, a chain saw or a circular saw? Every time you place a new log, the slot is already cut. Does the tree heal back up after being tapped, or have you seen evidence of scaring from tapping in a tree that has been milled for lumber?

I remember one time in New York helping my grandpa tapping tree's and he told me to go back to the tractor and he was right behind me I was 9 or 10 years old and when we got on the tractor I asked why we were leaving so soon new we weren't done yet he said look over your right shoulder and you'll see why, a black bear

8' high; is a good high to be. The irony of handling logs is that the small one are the most difficult. I'm guessing the ladies are helping with the filming and are doing a great job at that. At this point of the build you gotta be feeling pretty good about what you see. (JF)

You know. I m sure there s some Sasquatch s around in your area. you need to make friends with one of them. I m sure they can lift those logs up for you with no problem and in return maybe you can teach them something or help them in some way. lol

Would it be prudent to consider the use of a helmet once you get those logs that high? It's not just the logs that I'm talking about. That tackle is heavy too. And if that keeps swinging out of the blue. A head injury could be debilitating.

concerning your blog on the pros and cons of growing particular vegetables. thank you. the emphasis on calories was something of an eye-opener.
hard shell squash are also great for winter storage purposes and versatile in use.
