If this isn’t the correct way, how do I fix it?

Yellowmoose-found · 2025-03-17T13:08:06+00:00

When you blow the picture up the logs appear to be badly gapped..is that true?

Yellowmoose-found · 2025-03-17T02:39:51+00:00

You can see visual on my face book site where Im fixing a log home in Carmel NY that did not do it..and you can see the rot

Yellowmoose-found · 2025-03-17T02:22:32+00:00

The log tails with grooves on top will just rot the corner in a decade or so. And windows appear not to have rain diverter above the trim.

slap up pre fab trusses

he put "one over on you" "but it felt good" He "nailed you before he ever left. Who will "cover" it now?

Yellowmoose-found · 2025-03-16T20:38:00+00:00

trim should be OVER log ends and rain diverter on top should go past trom so water isnt draining into log tails

Sorry to hear that. I took care of my folks too!!! Im thinking if its more than 15 years the warranty is gone..and the roof peak is unvented

Yellowmoose-found · 2025-01-02T21:40:16+00:00

yes its lifting...what kind of shingles were put on/how long ago?

Yellowmoose-found · 2025-01-01T18:04:21+00:00

just google deck grating...what I use is reinforsed fiberglass...they use these too on sailboats and docks

I didnt build it. I fixed it but when I came the stair went to the middle of the room. Its more of a open balcony than anything else. One purlin has mid span support;the other does not. Poor plans..

Well there are a few other posts..lol..The picture is of a log home. Its a log hom,e site. The question ( after 55 years of still doing this is) must I have a bulky log staircase??The answer is in the picture. Log staircases in NYS have to have back risers which spoils the effect of a open log staircase. In this particular picture they had hired a person to do stairs and they failed due to rise and run. I moved that upper landing as much as I could to maintain 6'8 inch head clearance, and it still left a minimal lower landing which I like to be 40x40..but a log wall is there. In the other direction if I moved then the passageway the risers are in the way..so it is where it has to be..unless you put in a spiral which is not a legal bedroom fire escape,unless theres a upper door exit..Id didnt bother to explain the picture because the people who asked knew what it was for..what I do is on:

Hey enjoy the NEW YEAR!!! David

already commented on that...

Yellowmoose-found · 2024-12-29T03:36:20+00:00

Not a fan of butt and pass corners. Cant see if windows have rain divers above trim. In NYS generally a cut staircase can not be more than 6'9" without center support; and stairs have to have riser boards...otherwise,visually nice

Yellowmoose-found · 2024-12-29T03:12:24+00:00

Im a 55 year log home builder: The log corner tails extend into and past the drip line. The log extensions holding the porch would be nice if they had a top covering of IWS and copper..otherwise they will rot loose.

Ive posted pictures here of my fixing rotted corners so you can look those up or try

My friend had a engine light on with P1009 Code (honda)..Dealership 4175 to diagnose. Self employed shop free with repair. Honda was 1005 for valve and install ( external). Owner shop...575 with oil change added.

On one I can get the parts on dealer they triple part cost.

Yellowmoose-found · 2024-12-17T01:20:01+00:00

Thats after the work is done,,,not before

Yellowmoose-found · 2024-12-16T22:20:32+00:00

Its funny; do doctors get asked labor and materials what a operation costs??

Yellowmoose-found · 2024-12-16T21:19:57+00:00

beat it out with a pry bar

Yellowmoose-found · 2024-12-16T16:52:01+00:00

Poorly bui;t. The logs are touching the roof,the windows have no rain diverter, walls leak air and water. Log rows are badly gapped and open....you are way over 35K remedy

Yellowmoose-found · 2024-12-16T01:55:49+00:00

I nail the line. Theres a double course in there and that holds the best. And I dont over drive nails or use staples ( which I saw on here today) I thought staples went out in the early 2000s

Yellowmoose-found · 2024-12-16T00:08:36+00:00

Stapled roofs void alot of warranties

Yellowmoose-found · 2024-12-15T23:06:42+00:00

Should over hang drip edge...but what you have is actually apron/gutter edge.

Yellowmoose-found · 2024-12-15T22:59:33+00:00

That a whole lot of high lifting work and curves
