yea I can see they have been sawed on the cabin, but those on the trailer are just too straight, ....LOL

Ive helped build one log cabin as a labor I was just a teenager, it was hand hued logs & Big Suckers, back when Regan was in office, ill get ya a pic of it, it's still over here in Caryville about 3/4 mile it was built as a 2 story restaurant......was a flop from day one!

New pictures of my project.The roof is done,windows and door installed,and the logs have been pressured washed and stained.
Next on my list is to trim out the windows and door and put in a chimney.The stairs are just temporary,I will be adding a deck off the front next spring.

That's Awesome!! You and your dad did an excellent job on it. Im sure the Cabin will serve a lot of generation to come.
If I ever get some property, I may have to get some pointers on building one for myself.
Good Job.
