Figure 4-6 Installing Foam Gasket
9. Apply Foam Gasket : After all LogHog™ fasteners and dowel
pins have been installed, apply a row of 3/8"x1/2” foam gasket
in the counter bead groove on top of the log (Fig. 4-6). The
adhesive-backed, closed-cell, polyurethane foam gasket is
provided in boxes of 25’ rolls. Remove the paper backing and
apply with adhesive face down in the middle of the groove. When
ending a roll, do not stack the overlapping ends of the gasket to
create a thicker foam seal; rather, splice the gasket to insure a
consistent seal.
10.
Corner Adjustments:
Slight adjustments can be made at the
corner of the log wall if you plan for it. Note (Figure 4-7 below)
that the notch in the passing log at the corner is mortised to a 3-
7/8” depth, but the centerline groove of the same log is at 3-3/4”.
The log that will be placed into this notch is length cut to be
placed to the centerline of the passing log – but do not shove the
log tight to the back of the notch if adjustment is needed. Take
advantage of this corner joint as needed on each course to adjust
1/8” at each corner, or 1/4” over the length of the entire wall.
Figure 4-7 Use the corner to make adjustments.
11. Install Door Bucks : (See Section 4.2; “Installing Door Bucks”) You are now
ready for the second course.
4.2 Window & Door Bucks (Details L-40, L-41 & L-75)
DIY furnishes lumber for window and door bucks. Bucks are noted on the
shipping list and should be located before starting log wall assembly. Most buck
material is cut to length and very close to the same width as the logs so the bucks
can be used as an aide to align the logs as they are stacked (always check inside
of log stack for plumb in case of variations in buck material). Refer to the log
assembly overlays for proper placement of the bucks.
