I just bought ten acres in east texas filled with 8" logs super tall and straight. I'm definitely going to build a log home on it. So much cheaper.

I planned on retiring and having a home built in another ten years but would happily work an extra five to have a home like this. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Doesn't Cement hold moisture near the Log causing premature Rot? That's why I have always used Permachink

A smoking fireplace is a result of the design and build of the fire box and smoke chamber or over sized flue in most every fireplace. The exception to that is lack of combustion air supplied to the firebox or green wood in a cold fireplace . I have built dozens of fireplaces and never built a smoker. Follow the equations and speciation's that any master mason uses and the fireplace will not smoke even when lighting it. Burning green wood with a cold smoke chamber and flue is never going to work out well . Cheers

I'm thankful for my stairs. They keep me in shape, keep me healthy. I climb three flights of stairs multiple times a day. My heart rate is great, my leg muscles are strong. Sometimes the easy way isn't the best way. Use it or lose it!!

Great point. This is how I think as well. Some people are inclined (😉) to take the easy way, to their own detriment and to that of others. My parents are in their early 70s and currently live in an upstairs apartment so they're forced to use the stairs. And while some people might be concerned about this and ready to hurry in and rescue others from any effort, I see how it can keep them in shape and they're forced to be careful which I think keeps the mind sharp as well. If they don't think they can handle it anymore or if one or both lose the ability, well, I'll help em move. But I'll be sure to never give up on em and see to it that they don't take it *too* easy!

Thank you for the great video. Per what was said at 4:50 about fireplaces CREATING HEAT. Sure, your fireplace (with 1,000 pounds of stone and brick) will store and then create heat but MOST fireplaces in most homes in the United States will do the opposite, and will increase heating costs. Unless there is a tremendous amount of mass, the typical fireplace won't heat even one room.

Most of the cabins on your channel seem to be just the log and some type of filler between them. Do they stay warm in winter?

I love your videos! Much appreciated. I'm a bricklayer of 33 years, and have constructed a stone fireplace for a client and have now been asked to handle the chinking. Everything I've seen you do is exactly how I had imagined I'd start. From the diamond mesh to the mortar mix. We call that joint a weather joint and that is absolutely the best joint for this situation ❤

It needs to be stressed that a chimney on the INSIDE will draw / draft much, much better than one on the outside. Also, creosote is much less for reasons I can't explain quickly here. ALL chimneys AFTER the year 1900 should be inside the home and not even close to an outside wall. What do we see today... "new home construction" with them on the outside. I understand what he is saying about aesthetics, but how many home builders are building historic looking things like that with real stone?

I do have a question that you've likely addressed. I have enough straight poplar with minimal knots to build with. I also have enough white oak, but with many small knots to build with. Other than the knots being difficult to work with, are there any other issues? I'm 51, figure to live out here.

Noah, is this a crazy idea: I live in Kentucky and within an hour any direction from my home there are many roadside stones the size of a football, basketball, some bigger some smaller. I'm not planning to build the home for 3 or 4 years. I'm wondering that as long as it's not beside the highway and unsafe; if on a early Sunday morning I take a country drive in my pickup truck and just make it a easy relaxing gathering of stone. I'm not talking about on private property and I'm thinking 6:30 or 7:00 Sunday morning casual drive as I have so much time before building. Otherwise, I'm just watching for some new construction where they're clearing the land. I'm thinking because a contractor has to get rid of them anyway. - Thoughts?

Although I'm planning 3-4 years before building, does it make sense to gather materials? For example, finding old windows at a yardsale that in my convenience I can de-&-re construct to be good windows (I really like the wavy old glass), or a Facebook marketplace 50+ year old porcelain barn sink at a good price. - I feel like I'm being a pack rat

@user-po7cq6cl2z I don't understand why a homeowner would go with any kind of fake stone instead of real stone. When we were building our home we wanted to do a stone facing on our fireplace (inside) which was an area of 6 feet wide and 18 feet tall. When we went to the place selling stone, you walked into a showroom with about 3 dozen brands of fake stone. I told the guy we wanted real stone and he walked us outside to 3 large piles of different kinds of rocks. I asked him why he had dozens of kinds of fake stones and only 3 kinds of real stone. He said - let me tell you a secret - we are in the business of selling the stone but not installing it. No matter how fancy, fake stone is just colored cement. Its very cheap to make and the markup on the material is very high and, compared to real stone, its relatively easy and cheaper to install. Real stone is relatively inexpensive as its mostly in its raw state but its very labor intensive and the labor has to be highly skilled. So there was no incentive to push the real stuff, just the fake stuff. Whereas, because the stone is so cheap, masons can charge more and be fairly compensated for their work. Also builders use the fake stuff simply because they are building a lot of houses and the labor to build with real stone is expensive and hard to find. So re cost, it always seemed like a wash to us. But everyone pushes the fake stuff because the stores and manufactures make money and builders can find more folks with the skill level (which is still not low) to them install it. But, manufactured by God, nothing beats the look of real stone. You can spot the difference from a mile away.

Corners absolutely affect insulation, corners are tough to insulate, and the complex truss segments end up to be more expensive and time consuming to to properly insulate. Drywall is more, as there is more cuts, more corner bead, and more finish time on those corners. Siding, there is more labor and material for corner trims, more cuts for siding material. Trusses are more complex, so they cost more, same with soffit/fascia, and gutters, even roof sheeting and shingles, because you end up with more valleys and ridges with more corners. you are WAY OFF Base on this.

Regarding concrete. I looked back at the invoices and quotes from 3 poured foundation contractors over the last 2 build, and they each have a separate line item for corners. There is additional labor and parts for the Form-A-Drain around the footings, there is more labor and different form sets for corners. The cost increases from footing to the last shingle is $10-15K per corner.

I'm looking for a video to answer are your logs square (or taller rectangle) and the exterior chinking is angled for rain run-off to not cause rot or are the logs also cut with, for example, 1/4" top recess so water runs down the log to a drip edge so that water doesn't settle or run-in to the chinking or top of the log beneath it? Thank you for your work and your teaching

My dad was into the buckskin mountain man circuit. The old fort in Fort Wayne IN got rebuilt back in the 80s. First thing dad said after he saw how the changing was done is that they done it wrong. Instead of it going from the underside of the top log to going over the top of the bottom one the hollow between the logs was filled then it went on the outside of both. Like dad said when it rains the water will get trapped between the chinking and the log when it runs down the side. Dad said in roughly 20 years it would need rebuild again. Dad was a history buff was in the living history reenactments he knew what he was talking about in most history subjects. When the contractors that was hired to rebuild the fort was informed about their mistake, I even heard them say, they stated that they were the experts and knew what they were doing. Part of the structure has been removed since then because of ro and not rebuilt due to cost. The experts didn't care they got paid and it made it between 15-20 years before needing re-done again

Interesting perspective… Irish stone cottages do have really thick walls, but they also have really small windows. ICF homes can take advantage of modern glazing and be very light-filled and very warm. Again Irish homes are only warm because of the big fire in the middle!!
