Accompanying photo is most recent that is my wife's she-shed that she and I put together together. No logs longer than 8' because USFS won't let me pull out anything longer under my firewood permit, thus lotta twists and turns. This one is only 192 square feet, but serves the purpose. I have a small sawmill, so the logs are two-sided. Foundation is actually cinder block, but faced with local rock that we pick up. A couple years earlier, we put up a similar building that is our steam bath. The two sit side-by-side, pretty much.

Basically a short (4') built-in red cedar bench on one side, and an 8-foot built-in cedar bench on the other for laying down on. Building is only 7 X 10 feet, plus the porch. Riser benches for both seats that are stored under the main benches to get the bather up another foot into the really hot air. We use the banya (steam bath) twice weekly in the winter, but rarely in the summer. I would have a hard time living without a wood-fired steam bath house. This is the third one I've built (two others in Alaska). Jack

I had a door built as some of you may have seen and went casting about to find an old thumb latch to go along with it. I found a site that made hand forged hinges and latches and was about to pull the trigger on it when eBay crossed my mind. Sure enough, I found just what I was looking for at a third the price and it's a period piece of hardware. One small victory for mankind. I'm tickled pink. Now I need to find some screws.

My long wall is thirty feet so I was dealing with logs thirty-six feet long all by myself. I used a gin pole to get the logs up. I used block and tackle which gave me that four to one advantage. I still had to enlist my tractor at times.

The logs were all cut very close to 20 inches...a bit challenging to make a curved wall. My wife helped with the joint pointing. Stripping wood was a pain because the ash trees were not cut at the proper time. "Speedy arrow, sharp and narrow" GD

I think I would prefer dovetails. I basically want to duplicate it. Get the book " building the alaskan log home." Best book on log building Ive ever seen. Everything you need to know is in it. do unto others as you would have them do unto you www.grizzlycreeklodge.com

The internal side heats the masonry and the thermal mass helps retain the heat even to a small degree upstairs. The shallow fireplace with external/through the wall chimney was more for summer cooking and to keep it cooler. At least that's my theory.

It needs some serious TLC some logs on the back are in bad shape. I'm currently debating if I can afford to fix it and build on to the back put in septic and build a barn. Then I would move into it. Since I'm not buying any of that ground that borders on the back of the farm it is a realistic possibility. It would be nice it sits 300 yards back off the road and electricity is there and water will be before June. Another large expense would be the gravel across the pasture .
