5. Are there any special precautions in beginning a Lincoln Log Home?

As with any construction it is necessary to keep all footing, foundation and walls square. Precautions should be taken to make sure the initial course (base logs) are laid square and conform to all measurements on your blueprints. Also, care should be taken to ensure that the logs are sitting properly on the foundation and no extreme overlap exists. From this point you need only to follow the blueprints, making sure that each course is laid correctly.
