Pin the logs with square hardwood stakes in round holes. NOT rebar. Lots of work. You're doing a good job ! As a builder I also spotted that right away. But I figured it's already done and he must have had a reason for doing it so I didn't say anything. Having to cut the plywood with a chainsaw would be a good reason! I love the redneck pizza oven! Eh...wot?

That was a Backbreaker but I managed to wrestle it up there also got all but one floor joists put up and fitted. Authority and desperation overrule knowledge and experience.

Good thread,nice looking camp going up.The squared off logs on the inside will make it easy to insulate and finish the inside if you choose. Last edited by Boco; 09/14/16 12:41 PM. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
