Our weekend project is shown here (http://www.photoasa.com/cgi-bin/photocontents.fcg?uid=3459&v=0&d=192.1.1.61&id=119940&seq=88&tot=85&displaysize=&a=next) (unlike some people around here I won't take up all the bandwidth with my pictures :rolleyes: :D ).

It was built with the traditional butt and pass method of log construction. And although you can't really see it the gable ends are cut at a 45 degree angle (to say nothing about the full size ridge pole holding up the roof. The chinking was a little slow to harden which made the wall sag a bit but all in all it turned out well. The paving stone walkway and rail fence were Ian's idea. I don't have a picture of it but there is also an outhouse off to the side (actually you can see the corner of it in the picture).

The logs are pretzel rods, chinking is white frosting, graham cracker roof/outhouse, & mini marshmallow fence posts.

Rammy you are welcome to three of them just as soon as I can drive to OK. Just tell me where to drop them off (I might even throw in a dog or two). You can return them anytime after say.... 2010.
