The Six-Shooter
The sill is spruce or fir and is attached
to the foundation with anchor bolts.
By the fourth day the cabin is rising rapidly. Logs are window
height. Windows are braced as shown.
As the walls near completion on the fifth day, the
ground is graded and leveled with a bulldozer.
On the sixth day, attach roof purlins.
Since they are
very heavy, it’s best to use a derrick for this.
The gable walls are fabricated in similar
fashion, except that the ends of the logs
are sloped to suit the slope of the roof.
The interior partitions consist of two
inch, tongue and groove, vertical pine
planks. Frames for interior doors are
milled from solid stock and are rabbeted
to receive wall planks.
