We are now working on the ninth round of logs. The next log will be the main beam which will extend the length of the garage. It will be supported by two uprights standing on the garage floor.
I'll drill a 1/2" hole in the concrete floor that will match a 1/2" hole I will drill into the bottom of each upright. I'll then screw a 1/2" steel lag bolt into the bottom of the uprights, and cut them off with 2 inches sticking below the wood to fit into the holes in the concrete
The next logs will be the cap logs at the ends to cap the main beam in, and the six and a half loft logs. The stairway will come down at the right rear corner of the garage. The half of a loft log I leave out is where the stairs will come down.
We have already flattened one side of the loft logs. This weekend I will stain the main beam, the uprights and loft loft logs. Tuesday we will install the loft logs and the cap logs. Then I will install the loft floor.
When the loft floor is in, we'll install two mores rounds of logs, then the roof system is ready to be installed.
