PLEASE SEE THE OTHER PHOTO SECTIONS FIRST.
THE OTHER SECTIONS WILL SHOW THE FOLLOWING:
1. SKIP'S LOG HOME AND OTHER BUILDINGS AT HIS RANCH.
2. SOME OF THE MANY THOUSANDS OF LOG HOUSES HIS STUDENTS HAVE BUILT.
THOUSANDS OF THESE HOMES WILL BE ADDED AS WE CAN LOCATE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS IN OUR ARCHIVES -- AND AS MORE PHOTOS ARE SENT IN BY THE THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS WHO ARE CURRENTLY BUILDING.
This photograph shows one of the Scandinavian Chinkless style buildings.
These notches should fit so tightly that a cigarette-paper can not be inserted in the cracks.
It is IMPORTANT to learn the proper method of doing this work. If the notches are done correctly, then a log home will be stronger, warmer, more water resistant, more bug resistant, and it will last much longer.
A simple but effective ski cabin.
This is Skip's house, with Bob Johnson's wife standing by the front door (for a "size-perspective").
The ridge-pole is over 85' long,. Every log in this home was raised into position with simple hand-tools that fit in the trunk of a car.
This home was often used by Universal Studios for the filming of the award winning TV show, Northern Exposure. This is the house that "Maurice" (the retired astronaut) lived in. One of Skip's other buildings was also used in Northern Exposure.
