Logs and the Measurement for Traditional Home
Logs are cut traditionally at midwinter and time of new moon. Intent is to make a smallish house with draught lobby out of logs, with traditional methods. Building site is in Lyytikkälä at Southeast-Finland If the log is buttressed, it is heavy to narrow off with a broad axe. If there is more than inches wood to be narrowed it helps lot if one chops perpendicular traverses with normal axe. Then cut up leftover thick pieces off with normal axe too. There should be left / inches leftover on each side what is chopped off with broad axe. Stock is carved to logs, which are dried in spring wind.
To ensure even dehydration bark is carved off with drawknife. Earth base is made to this building for test and educational purposes where insulation of base floor is made from dirt Builders are carpenters Auvo and Ismo Kokkonen, Raimo Laamo and Seppo Kauppinen. - I think it's good now. For bed floor's ventilation, there are holes in stone foundation. - Let's measure crosswise, to see if it is lopsided. - Put it to the corner. Measuring crosswise is way to ensure that corners are square. In log building every logs underside is carved to match subaltern log.
And the lowest log to match stone foundation. Warmth notch is made for improving corners tightness which is stuffed with tar oakum. Horizontally piled log buildings we had perhaps even at the time of migration of peoples. At least since the century there has been round based joint notched, as known as dog's neck cornered, round log buildings. In the century they started to carve wall log's insides both side carved wall log, like this, ages somewhere at the century.
Moss is put between logs to seal the meeting. And tar oakum is stuffed to meetings of corners, doors and windows. To strengthen walls, logs are fastened together with dowels which are placed to holes which are drilled through logs. Size of the brace is about ½ inches. When dowels are hit, one must be aware to leave gap to bottom so pegs don't carry the log when it sinks. Gap must be more than inch per meter of the wall. Doors and windows holes of shafts are drilled with inch brace. Joints in partition between lobby and bedroom are not extended through walls but logs are joined with furrow joints. Joint cleft extends half way of inch thick log. This log cabins have long corner which has replication in two of this property's buildings.
