Hi folks,
First off I'd like to thank U2 Fasteners for sponsoring this video. I really don't get enough views to justify the time it takes to put these videos together so these sponsorships truly buy me the time to get this stuff edited and uploaded for you. More about U2 Fasteners is below.

Here are a few timestamps in case you want to skip ahead to specific points in the video.
0:00 This one starts out with some milling of my ridge pole and sill logs using my Granberg International Mills. I generally try to mill a month or so in advance of installation so they have a bit of time to dry. This makes them much lighter even though they are far from completely dry.
2:14 I explain and mill my doorposts.
8:46 I prep and install what I'm calling the third sill and screw it down with 10" and 12" 3/8 U2 Fasteners.
23:31 I get working on the door frame and have a friend come to help, but mostly drink beer, tell stories and share some laughs.
27:19 We load in some milled floorboards.
29:44 Cutting and installing the door frame posts.
40:58 My wife and daughter come out to see the progress and we cook lunch.
This video was sponsored by U2 Fasteners. They really make building with big timbers easy and fun. You can learn more about them on their website

You can also buy the fasteners on amazon.com
Here is one type most similar to what I'm using but pay attention to all the sizing options and choose what is best for your project. I like to use the construction screws in 3/8 thickness for these big logs but 5/16 would probably do the job for most projects.
