Here 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. On the next course the adjacent log butts up against while the other passes beyond the corner as seen in this photo.
