    In the beginning, there were logs...
    The raw Douglas Fir logs awaiting the hand-peeling process A stack of hand-peeled logs are ready to be used inthe contsruction of the Krutsinger's log home A stack of hand-peeled logs are ready to be used inthe contsruction of the Krutsinger's log home
    This 10' tall pile of bark, removed during the hand-peeling process, was removed in the peeling of the first round of logs used in the Krutsinger's log home

    ...Then, with a wave of a crane, armed with scribers and chainsaws, the artisans set to work....

    The first round is set down.
    ... and so, it begins ...

    ...A week later, the fourth round is set in place...
    In order to take a photo that shows the entire footprint of the Krutsinger's log home, this picture had to be taken from the roof of another log home shell that was positioned 300 feet away. Looking toward the garage from the corner of the master suite.
    The prow of the great room. The bedroom and great room great room as seen from the window of the garage The kitchen, dining room, other bedroom, and a portion of the 3-bay garage, as seen from the window of the garage

    ....Another week, and the seventh round is now in place. The window and door headers are about to be set in place and the openings are about to be cut to size, keywayed, and flared back...
    Looking toward the master bedroom side of the Krutsinger's home Looking into the home from just outside the prow of the great room. The kitchen, dining, and main entry area.
    The archway leading to the bedroom area and the garage beyond. The master suite. Notice the archway that is going in to act as an entrance to the turreted bath area. The master suite
    The door openings for the 3 bay garage are taking shape. Here is an example of the proposed solid fir garage doors.

    ... after additional construction time the window and door headers are set in place, the openings are about to be cut to size, keywayed, and flared back. You can see the prow front taking shape, as well as the shaping of the archways...

    Here we can see the header log in place for one side of the prow of the great room. The archway leading into the bedroom area is now shaped. The first of the log floor joists are ready to be notched in. Here you can see the flaring back of the door openings, the cut of the pitch log of the master bedroom, as well as the archway into the bedroom area. Notice the pink interior colour of the Douglas Fir logs that comes out in the door opening and in the pitch log.
    Here we can see the header log in place for one side of the prow of the great room as well as the archway into the bedroom area.

    ... and then there were floor joists ...

    This shot shows the curl cut into the logs that will support the covered porch area The 3 garage doors are now cut, keywayed and flared back. This show shows the prow of the home, as well as the posts that go around the master bath area (a log turret top will be added)
