Building Butt & Pass Log Cabin in Adirondacks w/ Eastern Hemlocks

Hello! Was just wondering if anyone on here has experience with this kind of build. I have run in to quite a few practical considerations/challenges/questions associated with the Butt & Pass style build, working with green logs, and working with Eastern Hemlocks.

I am just going to spitball a couple bullet points as any advice / suggestions would be much appreciated. Super grateful for any input.

  • Dealing with shrink and affixing window frames to logs/compensating for shrink above window frame and log over window frame.
  • Roof rafters designs / purlins for Butt & Pass
  • Eastern Hemlocks and rot/using ones that were felled a year or so ago
  • Best times to peel
  • Age of tree and ease of peeling
  • others I can't remember at the moment

Thanks for any insight. Would love to link up with someone who has a done a similar build. For reference the build is approx. 21' x 16' with a 5' deck.

I have a YouTube channel documenting the whole build if you are interested, the link is below.
