Setting The Logs in Place
Set the kerfed Pass Logs first and then bring the Butt Logs to them. Fasten the logs into place using the same procedures outlined in the Butt and Pass Log Section. Check to make sure corners are square and plumb. Remember to seal all joints and to countersink all lag bolts. Planing the entire tongue off the final log provides a flat surface for installing your roof system.

Install Trim Boards of Your Choice
Note: To avoid end checking it is best to thoroughly seal the ends of the logs before applyng trim boards. It is also wise to caulk the ends of the logs where the tongues and grooves meet.
