log Jamz: note to self

Good morning, hope that you had a great wednesday. As promised I have another addition of Log Jamz, I know that you have been on the edge of your seat waiting in anticipation.
  Well, you have already noted that I have talked about the weather  and it's affect on your log home, now I am going to bring up sunshine, which this week seems to be eluding everyone for the most part.
  Just like rain and snow the sunshine can have an effect on your log home if not properly protected. so with that in mind make a note to self and keep your log home sealed and or stained for good protection from the rays. Your logs will thank you!!

Good day until tommorrow!!

Timber Frame Tuesday: Lap joints

 Good morning, it is a rainy timber frame tuesday, but work goes forward. I have been creating lap joints on 6x6 timbers to frame out an area for a playhouse. It is a slow process but it will make the finished product have a cleaner look.
  So as I sit here writing a few words I will map out the rest of the day and hopefully the weather will be good to me.
  For those that do not know what a lap joint is, it is when two pieces of timber have had equal amounts of material removed so that they can overlap and remain as one solid connection between two timbers that gives the appearance of one. Until tommorrow........

Have a great day!
