  • We use mortar mix with a little bit of glue for our chinking material. We also add just a little bit of dye to color the mix slightly brown.
  • I have yet to come back and add finish trim to the doors and windows.
  • Here you can see the Butt n Pass method of log home building we used.
  • Look at the posts I used for the future deck. I choose logs that were beautiful with the curves and burls.
  • Sam and Elliot out chinking.
  • Hannah joins Sam and Elliot chinking.
  • We just cut this window out. As we were securing logs on the walls with rebar every 3-4 feet…we left spaces open without rebar for the locations of the windows and doors.
  • Bonnie and Hannah chinking here.
  • Here Jill mixes the mortar mix to be used in the chinking process.
  • If you figure out how long you have to chink…the cabin is 34×28 feet…14 logs on the long sides…around 20 logs x28 feet on the gable ends….that is close to 4,000 feet of chinking…almost ONE ENTIRE MILE!!
