I just checked my gallery on my phone. Apparently I haven't taken any good pictures of the cabin since the new phone. I will take some and forward them along hopefully this afternoon when I make it home. Yes, please do we all would like to see them.

Yep, double block and tackle and gin gin poles can do a lot of work. Rigging is a mans best friend at all times.

Anodized housing and the rope is rated at something ridiculous like 10,000 pounds. I went with 100' of rope, should have gone with 200'.

Maybe some of you guys can help me find information on scribing and cutting saddle notches or dovetails when building either an octagonal or hexagonal log building like this one? I think I would prefer dovetails. I basically want to duplicate it.

The stackwood looks nice. Is it hard to do to make it look smooth like that? 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.

Man! That is absolutely gorgeous! I admire things that are built to last. That building fits the bill.

Beautiful !!! Looks like that two story is built strong and well built. Very nice cabins everyone. 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 .
