Some wolf activity at the beginning of the week. It's a dark few days with a lot of snow. I'm making progress with the floor tiling and go pick up the Mitsubishi which has a tow bar installed.

I have a cabin on the western edge of Yellowstone National Park. Like Martijn, we are awoken many nights to the sound of wolves in our “backyard”. Like him, we often grab a flashlight and rush outside to see if we can catch a glimpse. It’s not the wisest thing to do. I’m sure interrupting a hunt is a bad idea. It never becomes less special though. Wolves are so essential to the ecosystem that our area has seen a tremendous improvement to wildlife management, plant life, and water system ecology. They are essential. Enjoy your neighbors, Martijn!

There is a book that was written by Hermann Phleps entitled The Craft of Log Building. Phleps was an architect, historian, and a pen and ink artist of incredible skill. The book was originally published in Germany in 1944. You can get an English translation published by Lee Valley Tools, Ottawa. It is a compilation of all the log building and rough timber framing techniques from the Alps to the Arctic Circle and from the British Isles to Central Europe. It is an incredible resource and may be something for you to refer to as you build. The text is very good and the drawings will be something that you will really appreciate.

[@susanlaven7319]

For the chickens, you might consider providing them a dust bath. It’s suggested aiming for a container with a length and width of at least 24-36 inches and a depth of 6-10 inches. Your chickens should be able to easily hop in and out but you don’t want all the material to fall out either. Made of Sand or soil, Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth, and Wood Ash. The two most important materials above are the diatomaceous earth and wood ash. Both of them will kill pests that infest chickens which is the number one importance of the dust bath. The dirt or sand is just a filler to mix in so it’s optional. Then depending on what you have available, the wood ash or diatomaceous earth should be added in to kill pests. Just a thought. They will love it.

[@gillie-monger3394]

If you seal the stone with a matt or 'natural' sealant and then grout; you'll find the cleaning process much faster, cleaner and easier. I'm looking forward to your cabin build in the future too. A couple of lovely designs that fit well into the location.

[@dave_from_mo]

Pastry bag for your grout. Make one with a heavy plastic bag and snip the corner. Love your work.

[@danoyse8233]

Do you mean a piping bag, like for Choux/icing. Good idea.

[@jbfracing6317]

Martijn, a huge tip is to seal the stone prior to grouting. After you’ve laid it but before grouting. Makes it SO much easier to grout. Wipes right off the stone rather than having to scrub it off so tediously. Also, a “matte” finish sealer will keep the natural look, just enhanced a bit. Looks great by the way! 👍

[@alipaulstagram]

Also, use a much drier mix. Just wet enough it binds together when you squeeze it, but not wet and sloppy. You can then wet the whole floor once it's pressed into the gaps.

The wolves certainly provided a memorable intro! Thank you for including that, as it was fascinating to hear their sounds. We don't have wolves where I live, but we do have coyotes. Their night-gathering sounds are similar, but more high-pitched. They will start out slow, and as more voices join in, they will eventually yip themselves into a crescendo, and then go totally silent. It's always impressive...

Martjin is on the right track as the mason "grout bag" method of applying to brick or stone joint grouting is far less messy and cuts down on cleaning up grout residue and keeps even open pored and heavily chemically sealed natural stone from still absorbing modern cement grouts that endless sponging and cleaning just often doesn't remove that residue "haze".😇
