I think I first saw that one on...Styrofoam forms... I think I first saw that one on This Old House a few years back. It was pretty interesting and amazing to me that stryofoam could take all that concrete. I've seen poorly braced plywood forms bow under all that pressure so it was amazing to see them pouring all that readi-mix into a form made out of coffee cups. :-)<BR/><BR/>What method do they use to fasten the logs to each other? Galvanized spikes (60d or so) or threaded fasteners?<BR/><BR/>Also, do they have some sore of method to compensate for any drying/shrinkage in the logs? I was always curious about that one.<BR/><BR/>Also, do you plan to treat your logs with anything after the house is up? <BR/><BR/>Sign me Just Curious. :-)Gun Trashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312012435197709902noreply@blogger.com
