Lodge-Style Log Home, continued

Dean Johnson and Robin Hartl help with the electrical rough-in and chinking between the logs for the lakeside log vacation home. (Part 5 of 15).

Dean and Robin talk about sealing the home up tight as a crew covers the trap rod between the logs with acrylic chinking material. They also talk with carpentry sub Dick Biscobing about prepping log walls for cabinets with slip joints to keep log shrinkage and settling from racking the cabinets. They update mechanical rough-ins, start installing drywall and show the initial framing for a complicated set of windows on the home's lakeside gable end. (Part 6 of 15).
