It has Hatchet

Here
we have laid the first two rows of logs. It is important to put
the biggest logs down first and then work your way up with the
rest of the logs.
We are now three courses up and you can
clearly distinguish the "Hatchet Face" pattern.
We are now into the 4th and 5th rows of logs. Leaving the opening for doors
and windows. The new loader truck is putting up the first of the fifth row!
Sometimes when you
don't have a truck, you have to put them up by hand!
Making sure the logs are going up in a straight line.
A look at the laterals of the north
wall!
The front entrance is coming together as the front of the logs are starting to
step out into a soon to be "Grand Entry"!
The top of the windows and doorways are being completed with a full log over the openings!
Looking at the overview of the wheeler point project to
date.
We are now two logs over the windows getting close to running the loft joists
across.
Starting to reach out a little further at the entryway!
We are now ready to put up the loft joists!
Loft joists are set along with the entrance truss.
