ABSTRACT:
There is provided a building structure made from wooden logs with gaps between the logs for receiving insulation. The gaps are formed between the stacked logs by driving sharpened spikes into oppositely facing logs so that the opposing sharpened tips of the spikes penetrate the logs and secure a fixed distance between such logs. Two spikes are normally aligned with one another and respectively driven near the inner and outer walls of the log structure. Each spike has a hole drilled there through for receiving a screw-like rod interconnecting the two spikes and supporting various building items such as a wire mesh screen for receiving plaster, a vapor barrier and inside panels. Furthermore, insulation is provided between the two logs so that the thermal resistance of the overall building structure is greater than a building structure which would use logs alone.
