The day after Christmas, we head out to begin the construction
of the log walls.
|
|
|
The logs are
held in place with 12-inch lag screws. We used
an air-powered impact wrench to drive the screws
into the perimeter box.
|
|
|
|
Malinda drives
the first screw on the first log. We have a
start!
|
Unfortunately,
the air-powered impact wrench did not work
as well as we had hoped. It was so cold that
the compressor was not able to deliver enough
pressure.
|
| |
But after a struggle, the first
row is down and we are ready to stack the second
row.
|
| |
 |
| |
The corners are notched and
fit together "just like a 'Lincoln Log'
set".
|
|
|
|
Malinda is
pleased with getting the first row done and
celebrates by modelling her spiffy construction
outfit.
|
Next: On to the second row!
