Bob cuts the butt end of the log at a diameter that will match it's adjacent log on the wall.

There's Ted pounding away again, driving the corner pin.

The "crew" of Bob and Ted. Once again, Jeff takes the roll of cameraman.

Ready to lift the 4th log for course #5.

A view from one of the tractors. One end of the log is almost in position. While the other end is suspended slightly off the ground, Bob and Ted swing the log around the adjacent overdangles until...

...it can swing back over the adjacent wall while the other end is lifted up.

Ted jumped on the other tractor and hoisted the other end of the log while Bob kept it away from the overdangles.

Hey, someone must have grabbed the camera. That's Jeff up there drilling the hole for the horizontal end pin.

With all four logs now secured at each end with at least two pins, we worked at pulling some of the bow in the front log inward using two straps, a come-along, and a chain. That's Bob in the background using the reciprocating saw to take off a few more knots and bumps.

Looking inside the house, Ted directs John who's on the tractor beyond the back wall behind the photo. It took a LOT of tension, but logs do bend. :-)

We passed the straps between two logs on the rear wall, then connected it to a chain which we hooked to the tractor.

Ted relaxing on his lift gate. Sure, Ted, we know that's where you really were most of the day.

Our log rack area, as it look now with the water gone and the grass filling in.

At the end of the day, after Jeff finished pinning the front log and removed the tow straps.
