What are the ingredients for the mortar is it just cement or are their adhesives added

Why do you put Batt insulation in between the logs if you're shoving it in there like that?

@Qdogsman thats what i woulda guessed...ive got that on my floor. sanded down the old boards and put it on...looks great! (verathane). Thinned it out with turpentine 1st coat.

where the window meets the wall whats keeping the logs spaced? Would they not fall down and compress after the window hole was cut? Are there spacers holding up the logs or perhaps wooden spikes through the window's wood into the logs? curious

@CanadianReich Check my website at paul and ellen dot com (remove the spaces and change dot to . ) Click on the picture, then click on Construction Summary. It goes into the detail you are looking for. Steel dowels keep the logs spaced; without them, the logs would settle. There are 3 60d galvanized spikes driven through the window and door frames into the end-grain of each butting log. Thanks for asking.

@CanadianReich You're welcome. Thanks for asking. The wood on the inside of the cabin is treated with High gloss oil-based Verathane. On the outside, logs, fascia, and ceiling boards, it is treated with TWP 501C, which is not glossy.

@ragdump The most important things are the nailing and the mixing of the mortar. I hope you watched those videos too.
