At the receiving end and Pass Technique is undoubtedly (and that i mean by a really long way) the most effective way for developing a REAL log home.
I’m if you have came by as you have started to look around for information on how best to make a cottage / home. Well I really hope the info you will find on my small website answers questions and if not have you thought to ask me, I might love to answer any question you could have on developing a cottage especially on the butt and pass method.
At the receiving end and Pass way is the STRONGEST and needs the LEAST maintenance
Few people in today’s world contain the necessary craftsmanship background nor the requisite timeframe it will require to understand traditional scribing and notching. Fortunately you do not have to become a master craftsman as a way to make a very high-quality log structure in relatively very little time.
Today you can find inexpensive materials available that greatly simplify the process of log home building so that you can put up a property with hardly any in the way of skill, time, or money. Logs are peeled, sometimes dried, cut to length, hauled into position, then drilled and pinned. With the butt and pass, you have a large electric drill, plenty of cheap reinforcing bar (otherwise known as “rebar”), plus a sledge hammer to pin the logs together with essentially no scribing, no notching, and no close fitting. The last product is stronger and much more stable than the usual scribed and notched log home.
A sign on one wall butts on a sign on the opposite wall, overlapping like brickwork up the corners. The logs are held together with rebar pins, drilled and nailed through from one log to a higher, in the corners and each two feet along each log. At the receiving end and pass method doesn’t have any vulnerable notches for rot to set in, and all the logs are very tightly pinned together with rebar there’s no settling. The window and door frames may be nailed right to the logs without worry. Space between the logs is insulated with strips of fiberglass insulation, then covered with sand and cement chinking mortar.
Besides being fast, durable, and economical, the butt and pass technique of log home building requires relatively few tools. In fact, the majority of the necessary tools would easily fit into the back of your car! Even though big house logs could possibly be heavy, you can easily lift them into position with no crane. With a block and tackle pulley system placed on a lifting pole each and every corner of your home, it is easy to wrap a strap around a log and hoist it to the air, either manually, or by attaching the haul rope to a truck. Drive backwards slowly and the log floats into position.
When built correctly, a butt and pass log home can outlive any other kind of log house, also it doesn’t require endless coats of stain or other sealants to shield the logs from decay.
