This evening Chris and I dusted off the planer and ran a lift of rough 3×8 through it.  This was lumber accumulated over the years from reject runs, over-runs and wrong sizes.  We graded it into two piles.  The good and the bad/ugly.  To be fair, the bad/ugly pile will generate lumber less than 8′ for blocking, etc.

Next:  sandblasting logs, prepping the front wall with sill gasket, moisture barrier and sill plate.  Chris is spending a lot of time in deep thought puzzling out measurements, slopes and angles!
