Here we are lifting the first log for the wall. This log is notched, with what is called a saddle notch, to fit on top of the sill log.

  • I can't wait to see you palace when it is complete. I hope you keep us all updated and show the final product. Have a great day Jeff. :)

  • @kobracom77 Yep, I'll keep everyone updated and thanks.

  • I am really enjoying your vids Jeff, I finished log building school a couple of monthhs ago. It is pretty fun building with logs huh? You are doing a great job, and when done should have a very unique home, you should be very proud. I noticed that when you cleaned up your notch's with your saw you get a bit of tearing around the notch edges, you can use a chissel or an exacto blade to go over your lines with before you cut the bread cut, it then gives it a really clean edge on your notch's. :)

  • @kobracom77 Thank you very much for the suggestion, I think I remember seeing that in another video. I will definitely start doing that. I remember playing with "Lincoln Logs" as a kid, I think I'm just living a boyhood dream LOL, and yes, building with logs is a lot of fun.

see all

  • @medievalman86 Wow, what a coincidence. I can't wait to see the rest go up too LOL. I finished all the sleeper logs (7 of them that go on top of the sills) today. Tomorrow we start the floor joists (90 10' logs... yikes)

  • @JeffABenner well,except for the last name, we have identical names. those are some small towns. cant wait to see the rest go up! :)

  • @medievalman86 Okay, I won't tell you the A stands for Alan, even though it does :-). Besides my wife and I we have 4 strong boys to help out. We are not real far out in the sticks, about 5 miles from a town pop of 2,500 and 15 miles from a town pop of 14,000.

  • @TheGenuineChristian We are going to put in a wood stove. We plan on recording (some videos, but mostly photos) the progress.

  • Hey Jeff, you going to have a fire place? And are you going to record your progress on building this log house?

  • nice intro, looking good there! (please tell my A doesn't stand for Alan?? :-p ) How is it just you and the wife building or you hijacked some extra help? how far out in the sticks are you?
