4. Check Straightness : Stretch a string line between nails
driven into the tops of the logs at either end of the wall
(Fig.4-4). Use the string as a guide to assure that the log
course is perfectly straight. If the logs have been positioned
correctly and the subfloor is accurate, the base course
should overhang the edge of the subfloor as shown in Fig. 4-
3.
5.
Apply Sealant
: Once you have verified that the base log
course is accurately placed, move the base logs aside and
apply construction adhesive between the subfloor and base
log course to create a weather tight joint (Fig. 4-5). Apply 2
continuous beads at approximately 1” and 3” from the edge
of the subfloor on both sides of the chalk line. Check for
square and straightness, then set base logs back into their
final position.

6. Toenail Joints : Toenail the logs together with 2-16d galvanized
nails to tighten each butt joint and corner, being careful to avoid
any log movement (Detail L-6, Pg. 4-36). The log overhang
should be uniform all around the perimeter (see Fig. 4-3).
