I've always wanted a log cabin, I didn't have the experience or balls to do it when I built my house so I went with a stick framed cedar cabin, it's great but I still want to build a cabin.  So, I'm building a log cabin garage for my first run!  Start working on the slab wednesday and then in the spring I plan to cut the pine and debark since I've read that is the best time to de bark.  Then I'm gonna put up 3 rows of cinder blocks and then saddle notch the green timber.  It will be off the ground and I'll put a big roof with large over hangs around it.  After a year most of the drying, not all I know, will be done and I'll chink it.  I'd love some words of advice since this is my first attempt.  Thanks guys!

Never done it but it sounds like a great project roli, are you able to attend a log building class? I have a friend that did and he said the experience was awesome and helped a ton.

I found this, might be worth contacting to find out their class schedule for 2016
