    Picking up pine logs for our next log home.





    Dropping them off in our logyard. (Note our 1966 suicide crane in the backround.)

    It's a 1966 Lorain with a 20 ton capacity. More or less. And there's not one hydraulic anything on it. It's all cables and friction.

    You pull (and I mean pull) a big lever back to lift the load. When it gets to the height you want, you have to hit a foot locking brake at the same time as you release the lifting lever. If you're off by a split second, three tons of log drops from a few inches to about two feet in the lapse before it locks up and the whole bloody crane shakes with you in it and the guys guiding the log into place threaten you with imminent and painful death if you do it again. And that's just lifting it.

    When it's at height, you can swing it around, and lower the boom, which shakes the **** out of the crane and you again, and then you lower the load by unlocking the foot brake and releasing the pressure with your foot (like backing off a gas pedal) very, very, very slowly. The difference between a controlled descent and a five foot per second descent is about 1/8 of an inch on the pedal pivot. The guys guiding the log into place on the down part do so with extreme caution to say the least.

    Also, right behind the flimsy seat are cable wheels three feet across. if you lean back the wrong way... This thing wouldn't pass today's safety restrictions even if the inspector was you brother, drunk, sleeping with your wife and owed you money.

    On the hand, it works and we could afford it. And getting lifted up on the cable and swung around is a riot!

    Excellent pictures. I've seen the one of Europe at sunset before (it was my wallpaper for awhile), but I've not seen the one of the whole world. Very cool indeed.

    Well Sasaki you started an awesome trend. I have tons of satelite pics. Here's one of my most interesting ones.

    Notice the little palm city. Also notice what looks liek a giant skeleton fallen in the sea. This map has always fascinated me.

    I guess I should have posted my other work pictures in this thread. Oh well.

    We were working at this place today. We built it in our yard a few months ago, disassembled it, loaded it onto a truck and shipped it here. Re-assembly takes about two days for the log shell. It was put together in January but we still have some finishing work to do.



    An inside view.



    My favorite part. A very simple staircase but I like this one much more than some of the fancier ones we've done. It just looks... right.

    Hmph! So would I.

    The log shell, about 30x30, white pine, hand worked and fitted, which is the walls with windows and doors cut out, floor joists for the second floor and the roof trusses and beams runs about $45,000 installed.

    Finishing the house is variable. But a full basement, roof structure, interior walls, plumbing, electricity, septic tank and weeping field, well, basic (but nice) kitchen, gyprock, paint, wondows and doors, bathroom fixtures, and the thousand and one other bloody things you need to do will run another $100,000 very easily. More like $125,000 to $200,000. It's scary. But this structure is plenty of space for a family of four or five.

    We're drawing up plans for more modest houses but these are the ones people want. The biggest we did was 52x30, full basement, heated granite floors, two second floor mezanines connected by a twenty foot bridge, and a staircase built with a single stringer made from a 10x 16 piece of milled pine ran about $450,000.

    Our part, the log shell as described above, ran about $80,000 with some extras. The staircase was another $3000.
