    wow, those are great pics! swinging porch furniture inside the home - love it.

    nearly all by himself
    .... and my wife. I had this complicated spreadsheet with all my logs numbered on it, their taper, butt tip and mid diameter, and a complicated formula I came up with to tell me where to stack each particular log (it's on my blog as a download) - and my wife came in there with her seamstress measuring tape and - well - I ended up just throwing away the spreadsheet, lol. She wasn't even measuring diameters - she was measuring circumferences....! gah! As you can see, it all worked out nicely.

    to the OP - notice none of us are professional builders, and the LHBA method still got us amazing results.

    About the swings, where else could you get away with these and have them look like they belong. The paws in the picture are reason enough for the swings. A stick vacuum and 5 min and you can make quick work of the
    hair-r-r-r-r. About five times a day, no legs makes it much easier.

    I REALLY like the New England style, square-hewn, dovetailed, and chinked log homes, but if you think the LHBA method is labor intensive, well let me tell you!
