We spent all day Saturday sorting through logs. They are all numbered as to where the go in the walls of my house. Each row of logs is referred to as a "course". So you start with course 1, all the way up to course 14. The logs were a jumbled up mess when we started. Courses 1-10 were all mixed together and bundled up in about 5 different stacks. Courses 11-14 were also all mixed up in their stacks. By the time we were done on Saturday we had each course stacked in it's own little pile.
We placed courses 1 & 2 on the foundation so the logs were just right there ready to be screwed down. We put the other courses in order close to the foundation so that Dana could just lift them on to the foundation with the forklift.
Monday morning two guys from the log home dealership showed up to help us re-assemble all of these logs. They told us that someone would have the job of finding each log that they would need. We told them that we all ready knew where they were, but they didn't quite believe us. They then told us that on the first day you only get 3 courses set up...4 if you're really lucky. HA! We got all 14 courses set! I don't think they knew how hard we work. We've got an awesome crew. The guys from the log home place are Tim and Gus. Then we had my dad, Dana's dad, Dana, Aaron, Dennis, Dana's mom and me. My mom stayed home to cook a nice big dinner for us all! Everyone had their own assigned job and everyone was hurrying to get ahead of the next guy. We had a nice little competition going between everyone and as a result we got a LOT done. So basically we got 2 days of work done in 1 day. Hopefully we can keep this pace going all week.
