I will be attempting soon to build my very own log cabin out of trees harvested off my own land. Going to school in Feb 2011 to learn the particular method I plan to build with called tight pinned butt and pass. It is a method that lets one use green logs for building without shrinkage problems. This blog will be my update on how things are progressing

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
