Something isn't right with the logs he gave in his file, there are to many cut-outs. he wrote the cabin will be 4mx8m, but i can't get an 8m long wall without holes in the middle of the wall.

i got my SketchUp last week, i am at the beginnig to find out the first steps. If he hab the parts also for ArchiCad, than i would have it done in a short time.
I know the blue peaces are used at the corners from the building, not for supporting the porchroof.

It schould be at least 2,40m. For example, you need 2,00m for a finished door opening to walk thru without hidding your head. i would say it will have 17-18 layers of logs.
As i menshend earlier, the best thing to do is to build the cabin once before next to the building place. Than take it apart and put each layer of logs on a own pile.

What hight has one log? A standarthight are between 7 and 9 layer. Do you speak german?

The only thing you can do, try to put the logs together like a huge puzzle. Build it right next to the place it should be build.
Than put each layer on a own pile. If you start cutting the logs you are lost, because for the last few layers of logs you will run out of material.

Do you remember who donated the log cabin? Could you ask for the compay witch cut the logs? May they will have an old cut-shead.

Hi FenS,

i'm a log home designer. All the logs should have a number on it. Normaly you have a Cut-Sheat where all logs are shown with the number on it. I know you have no drawings, but you should look at all the logs for the numbers, than you could figur out in witch possition they should be placed. It will take you some time to do it, but it would be the easiest to build the log cabin.
