Both coops and runs, bit muddled sorry! 8x12 and 10 x16.

How did he keep the timbers from going timber?

Bad pic of the house but yeah log. Coops are landscape timbers stacked to match the house. Hubby had that idea, but hey they look great.

That's awesome........and looks like a lot of work to replace a log Do you guys coat the outside of it with anything?

Every ten years, sand it to bare log, fill the checks (cracks in logs) replace bad chinking ( gaps between logs) then look for bad logs to replace, then stain and clear top coat.

What do you use for chinking?

LOL, started with a welded base of 6" steel channel first runners, 4" angle for floor base. Marine plywood over that. Row one is bolted down to the angle thru the floor. Start stacking and whacking. Go get a butt load of barn spikes! Place one timber over the bottle one, line it up, hammer in spike every 1.5 ft. Stagger the timbers so it looks like brick pattern. There's a thread on how I just don't remember where. But yeah lots of work. But oh so cool!

Chinking for log homes, 5 gal. bucket and the biggest caulk gun ever. You find a log home builder, they can order it for ya.

I just might have to steal that idea. Looks awesome by the way.
