I know it sounds funny, but there are steel beams in our log cabin. It is so well designed, we are most appreciative for the excellent work our architects have done. The installation of the steel was amazing to watch. With the crane and nimble guys to climb over the beams, everything was precisely bolted into place. They were in a hurry as radar showed a severe tornado storm cell heading our way. We were spared the dangerous part of the storm, thankfully. Tennis-ball sized hail fell up on the ridge. All we experienced was heavy rain.
Logs are going up on the Writer's Cabin. There are so many damaged spots on the logs moved from Hamilton, AL, that the guys cannot really re-stack them. It is like putting a puzzle together: selecting the appropriate size, re-working the dovetail corners, and bolting them into place. Long bolts secure the logs to the concrete footings. It's really exciting to see the first few layers put into place.
