The floor deck is framed using an engineered 14" TJI joist with 3/4" Advantec. I have used other products over the years like 3/4" osb with a waterproofing sealer or a competing product to Advantec but I haven't found one yet that performs like Advantec. I feel similar about using a TJI floor system.
6/29/2011We started to errect the antique log structure. The structure was taken down, cleaned, fumed for bugs, labled and shipped to our site by a company out of West Virginia called Antique Cabins and Barns, http://www.antiquecabinsandbarns.com/

6/30/2011The log cabin is finished and looks great. Some of the timbers are as thick as 22". No major problems getting the structure up except the top cord is a little bowed and out of level.
7/13/2011We started the stick framing around the log structure. To the left is the kitchen and the right is the connector wing for the bedroom wing. Things are moving along.

7/29/2011Starting the roof framing using 2x12 rafters so that we can insulate according to the codes in our area. The large clear story will allow a lot of light to fill the living room and a bump out window will provide seating for the loft window.
