ABSTRACT:
A prefabricated log building has walls formed by horizontally extending, vertically stacked log courses joined by tongue and groove joints. The walls are joined at corners by mortise and tenon joints. Each tenon is partially defined by a portion of a tongue on an associated log and extends into a mortise partially defined by a portion of another tongue on another log. The tongue and groove joints cooperate with the mortise and tenon joints to form weathertight barriers which extend through the building corners. Joists supported by the upper log course of an associated wall extend in cantilever position beyond the wall and support rafters. Filler logs connected in tongue and groove relation to the upper log course extend between the joists. A soffit carried by the joists may cooperate with a tongue on the upper log course or with tongues on the filler logs to form a weathertight eave structure.
