ABSTRACT:
In the process of designing a log structure, a kit is provided having a plurality of model logs of different diameters and lengths, having saddle notches and/or end notches, panels for windows, doors, etc., ceiling panels, trusses, and so on. A construction board or surface is provided having a rectangular grid of squares laid out to the same scale as the logs and other elements. In designing the structure, the various model building elements are laid out on the construction surface in precisely the same manner that they would be assembled on a floor slab with the full-sized finished logs. Model elements of the precise lengths, etc. are used, so that wall openings, such as windows and doors would be positioned precisely at the desired location. Sufficient numbers of elements would be provided to build a complete structure. Each construction element would be identified by a coded alpha-numeric symbol or designation which would completely specify the construction of that element. These code designations would plainly be marked on the element. When the structure is completed, photographs are taken of each wall and floor plan, so that the detailed construction of the structure is clearly shown. A complete bill of materials would then be available by listing each of the elements in the structure. The photographs would serve as assembly instructions since they would indicate the precise position and identification of each of the elements.
