Log endsHere at Bearfort Lodge I am tackling replacing chinking and fixing logs.

A quick review of Bearfort Lodge: Built over one hundred years ago in a butt and pass construction method (I believe to be the best method - although some will disagree).

Butt and Pass method alternates full natural logs. When a course of logs meets at a corner - the butt end of one log butts up against the adjacent log which passes beyond the corner.
