Why won’t seattle put a log boom in the outter waters near the floating bridge?

Friday, May 16th, 2008
JAY asked:


If There was a log boom on side of open water, then the waves coming in would hit the logs instead of the floating bridge and driveing on the bridge would be smoother.
A log boom from one side come out 2/3 the way anchored from below and the same from other side, but 125 feet apart and YES it would stop the major waves from slamming into the bridge and make waters on side of bridge in land smoother, make less pressure for bridge.

Does anybody have any tips on building a log cabin? Especially about the dry of the logs?

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008
Dodgegirl asked:


I’am going to build a log cabin back aways back in the woods. I cut the balsam logs into 16 footers last summer and shortly going to 2 side them with our mill. But is it better to put them on stickers to air dry them; or build the cabin right away, as the whole building will settle and dry? An area in the woods would be cleared for the cabin, but I don’t know if there would be enough air flow to dry the logs properly? Any tips would be helpful. Thanks
