So the tree sizes i have marked so far are as follows. I have given each tree a number and marked that number on the tree so I can know what sizes exactly I am dealing with as the time comes closer to cutting them down and try and keep as close to the same size for each log as I can as it makes it easier to build that way.
The measurement given is in inches (circumference) and for those you are not familiar with Pi as I had pretty much forgotten what it can be used for, to come up with the diameter of the log its circumference divined by Pi. I am looking to have at least a 10 inch diameter log on the small end for each
Log::
(1) 40 (8) 31.5 (15) 31 (22) 36
(2) 38.5 (9) 36 (16) 32 (23)34.5
(3) 36 (10) 34 (17) 38 (24) 35
(4) 39.5 (11) 34 (18) 34 (25) 37
(5) 40 (12) 39 (19) 35 (26) 35
(6) 31 (13 48 (20) 38
.(7) 44 (14) 36 (21) 34

Marking trees
Today was my 1st real action doing anything besides designing the floor plan for the cabin. I have so far spent probably 60-70 hours getting my plan just right for me with a nifty little 3D design program called Plan 3D. Its not free, but is only $30 for a years use so well worth it so far. Now that I think I have it just perfect I decided to do some actual work today and went and marked 25 trees for cutting. I think I will need about for the whole cabin. Its going to be pretty small to start out with, just 28x32 but since there is only myself and a big dog that should be plenty of room
