Making Courses Airtight

Apply 3/8" x 3/8" foam tape to the slot that is milled into the tongue and apply 1/4" bead of caulk to the front beveled edge of the tongue..

Hint: Do not stretch the tape; it has a "memory". Simply pat it into place.

Stacking Subsequent Courses

Repeat Steps 3 thru 9 for all subsequent courses of logs.

Note: Additional drip lip has been removed so that the log sets flat on the
pass area.

Hint: Planing the entire tongue off the final course of logs provides a flat surface for installing your roof system.
