Jeff,
Just wanted to comment on your home, the California Log Home (http://www.loghomebuilders.org/image-galleries/studentloghomes/california-log-cabin), as well as to ask a few questions. First, I'd like to say, "uhhhh, Wow!!" You did a really great job. No doubt you are very proud of this build. I really like how well placed and picked the logs are. Seems like you did a great job of picking the best logs so that the chinking would pretty much appear parallel everywhere; that's important to me. Also, the deck looks beautiful, as does the entire interior. I also like basement level outside texture. That adds character. The cable end lights are also a nice touch, and no doubt really makes the place "pop" at nighttime.
I do have a few questions, though:
1) Did you harvest the logs yourself, or purchase them?
2) What species of log did you use for the perimeter structure?
3) What are the dimensions of the home--30 x 30 by chance?
4) Did you mill any wood yourself, or was it purchased?
5) What was most challenging in building this home?
6) Lastly, have you ever built a home before--stick, log, or otherwise?
