About the log construction: Handcrafted persimmon log construction built for strength and longevity and was built using the pinned butt-and-pass log building method. This style of construction is known for structural strength, large support logs, and a durable corner system reinforced with vertical rebar pinning. The smaller cabin on the cottage home was built using this same method. Unlike many traditional notched log homes, the pinned butt-and-pass method minimizes settling issues and reduces common moisture-trapping points that can lead to long-term deterioration. Weather Protection. Large roof overhangs help protect the logs from direct weather exposure. The sealed gaps between logs help block wind, moisture, and insects. Lodge Character. Dense persimmon logs, vaulted interior spaces, practical durability, and efficient heating combine traditional craftsmanship with everyday livability. Rebar pins drilled through logs at corners and at intervals create a highly stable structure that is resistant to racking and lateral forces. Proponents of this construction style claim an expected lifespan of 350-450 years when built correctly, with proper drainage and protection from vulnerable rot-prone notches.
