This shows the completed walls (the log box) as it was the 25th of July 1998. You will notice the top logs on the left and right are the largest so far in the construction, they also stick out both front and back to support the rafters. Because we want an over-hanging roof in the front, the top wall logs needed to be 19" in diameter at the point they leave the structure. The logs were so heavy we didn't even try and lift them by hand but a car winch and two snatch blocks did the trick. But if you think those are big logs just wait til you see the ridge pole!

The weather was so hot over there we ended up spending most of our time at the local swimming hole and up at the famous Table Mountain Star Party only six miles away (as the crow flies).
