The second row of logs had its own set of challenges, but by the time we finished, we started to have a sense that we were building up a wall rather than just around corners.

Getting wiring out of the basement to the wall outlets and switches requires drilling down through the logs to the basement, and drilling each successive row to the correct level. Here Rip drives through the second row to the holes that are already drilled in the first row, which, in turn, go through to the basement.
