The Trade Show was excellent this year, thanks to all our sponsors who took the
time to show us their newest wares. A full list of sponsors and supporters is on
page 19.
Presentations were really superb. Dalibor Houdek, on his way to Czech Republic
with a stopover in Niagara Falls, brought us up to date on the Canadian approaches
to residential energy codes changes. What a breath of fresh air to see a sensible way
of improving energy performance. (US codes, ICC especially, should take note of how
sensible it can be to develop new codes. The US codes are heavily influenced by paid
lobbyists from construction industries.)
Dan Wait told us about a lower-tech kiln he has built for drying whole round logs,
and showed pictures of a new kiln he is building. Higgs gave several sessions about
roof design that complemented Mack Magees presentations about roof engineering
always a topic that draws in the log builders.
I gave a presentation on my experiments with underscribing over the past 11
years. In 1999, when I invented the Accelerated Log Building method, I found that
the classic Del Radomske overscribe methods would not work for me. First I had to
figure out why they wouldnt work, and then I tried out several different methods of
using underscribing on both accelerated and one-log-at-a-time buildings. For the past
6 years have been using my modified underscribe method. Look for an article in a
future issue of LBN: the methods Im using now are simple, and have been giving me
superior results.

Log Experience
By Mathias Ullmann
Again one of those Spam emails? Crazy guys from
Thailand, Maldives, and this time India, I clicked it into the Trash,
why not the Congo? But two days later the phone rang, a serious
voice, explaining slowly about his project in the lower Himalayan
mountains, about 300 kms northeast of Delhi, a weekend house
for his family. Having had a long business tradition with Germany
they wanted a log house from here.
Two months later, I was sitting in the plane, heading for the
building site in Sattal, Uthakaranth at about 1200 m above sea
level. I was happy to find out that Mr. Jain, the owner, was a
friendly civilized guy. The ride to Sattal was not so civilized, I have
been around the world, but that ride beat anything I had seen
so far. No rules, no signs. On the road: cows, pigs, monkeys,
mopeds with whole families on it, all heading somewhere in a
big rush, most of them on the wrong side of the road.
The road got narrower, curving up the mountains higher and
higher I spotted the building site, a terrace surrounded with a
white, freshly painted and illuminated fence. Oh gosh, the fence
must be taken down, was the first thing I got out of my mouth.

took over in the crane, while the operator served the hook.
From time to time the self-made electrical cables started to
burn as there was no fuses. We worked on bamboo scaffold in
the beginning, the green bamboo started to shrink in the heat
and after a day they were useless. After one broke down while
cutting a window opening (and dropping the running saw out
of the house), they finally sent one aluminium ladder from Delhi.
But we managed to finish the log walls to layer eight, after 10
working days, faster than we thought.
There was nothing else to do, no excursions in the
mountainous backcountry were possible because of the
damaged roads, and no one wanted to visit the flat lands. So
we lived our big brother life during daytimes behind the white
fence, and after dawn behind the hotel walls where we were the
only guests. Every step was carefully watched from the other side
of the fence, so we were living a zoo life.
Still, we set up the whole upstairs floor which was initially to be
done by the Indians themselves, cut out the stairs from leftover
wood and got the roof rainproof, earning some extra euros.
Having finished the whole thing two weeks before our flight,
we headed to the Andaman Islands, to get some rest, swim in
clean water, and see some girls, after having worked in a 100%
male world.
It was hard to leave the house there, in a totally different
world, showing that all our rules and thoughts are just relative
and that everything might work the other way around as well,
possibly creating happier people. Still we had the feeling that
the house might not really fit there, behind the white fence,
while on the other side people are living under plastic sheeting,
without running water or a toilet. But one day we will be back,
and if only to see if the house had not been eaten up, and is still
protected by the Terminator.
Each time after one log was cut out, the Indians put
Terminator (with a big photo of Arnold on the can) on. It was
some anti-termite stuff that smelled so bad that we refused to
touch it. But the owner insisted on it.
Since the crane operator did not get out of bed before eight,
and needed persuading in order to move anything, my brother

ATLANTIC WHITE
CEDAR LOGS
High quality, rare Atlantic white cedar
logs are now available in the mid-Atlantic
region. This species resists decay better
than more common cedar and is of the
highest rank of termite resistance. Straight
and naturally durable.
We are seeking a long term relationship
with a log home builder or log buyer.
note: This is not northern white cedar.
ACW is in the same family as Alaska
yellow cedar.

Buster
This year, John Boys brought along a new member of his staff.
Strong, silent type. Buster is the name. And all were invited to test
his abilities. Buster is a combination of steel beams, holding jigs,
and a hydraulic ram that John designed and built to test wooden
and steel joinery.
The testing (and breaking) went on all weekend in the Trade
Show area, so Ill just call out a few of the highlights that I saw.
First, an 8x8 pine beam (see photo below) with notches in each
end (like a floor joist) was bent down at midspan. At about 8000
pounds the right end joint failed when a crack split the beam
almost in two.
But then John screwed the beam back
together again with two Heco-topix screws
(see Tech Talk page 20), and applied the
mid-span load again. This time the left
end failed at about 8200 pounds, while
the broken-and-screwed-together-rightend held! Amazing.
Later, a simple butt-joint was screwed
together with two Heco-topix CC screws.
A vertical timber post, and a horizontal
beam, with no wooden joinery just
a butt joint (see drawing). This joint
was stronger than 9450 pounds an
incredible performance for what was

HolzMaster Augers
Reviewed by Robert Chambers
I recently used Gary Richters HolzMaster auger bits
in an expert course I taught about log truss construction. Gary
demonstrated these bits at the Niagara conference, and later I
bought two 24-inchers: 7/8 and 1-1/8 diameter. In brief:
these are the sharpest, fastest, cleanest-cutting auger bits I have
ever used.
The first thing I noticed: these produce chips that dont look
anything like the chips made by traditional ship augers (from
HolzMaster
double-cut
auger on the
left; and Wood
Owl tri-cut on
the right
The flakes these bits make are clean and crisp, and are
mostly semi-circular-discs of uniform thickness (see photo).
The half-circle chips easily climb up the auger twist without
jamming, and eject themselves. Because the bits are so sharp,
the discs-chips have clean edges, with no ragged portions to
catch and clog. Single-edge augers (the standard ship-augers
that most of us have been using for years) try to cut a full disk
with each rotation (when they are sharp), or even try to cut a
full-length apple-peeling-type curlycue. And, as we all know,
these kinds of chips jam up.
Maybe the Teflon coating helps the chips climb, but there
is more to it for sure. I think it is the geometry of the way
these bits cut, and the unique shape of the half-discs each
cutter makes, that is probably the reason they cut and clear
so well. Ive got a feeling that some smart engineers really
looked at the way to drill holes in wood, and designed a way
to fundamentally improve the task.
When I peered down into the holes we drilled, the sides of
the holes actually reflected light. They werent just smooth,
they looked polished. This is probably another reason the
chips clear so welltheres nothing for them to stick to. I
cant say yet what the results will be in Douglas fir or cedar.
Gary drilled pine at Niagara Falls, and the holes were as clean
as a whistle. We were using Alaska spruce.
We also drilled long end-grain holes,
and the bits again performed better than
Ive ever seen before. In all holes (end
grain, cross grain, and oblique grain)
the bits eagerly fed themselves into
the logs without having to be pushed
or thumped (you know what I mean).
We drilled both horizontal and vertical
holesa few of them were about 32
deep. For the first 24 we did not have
to clear chips even once. Once the
extension got inside the hole we cleared now and again.
The HolzMaster bits come in a tube marked Wood Owl,
but they seem to be specially-made for Gary and Timber
Tools. I havent found them for sale anywhere else. The nail
chipper Tri-Cut Wood Owl bits (which are also good) have 3
cutting edges (photo). The HolzMasters have 2 cutters (which
explains why they produce half-disc chips). Gary carries 18
(45cm) and 24 (60cm) lengths, while the Tri-Cuts are not
found in anything longer than 18. And apparently you can
special-order HolzMasters that are longer than 24. I also
got a Wood Owl 12 extension, and it is, sad to say, the same
design as all other extensions. Now if those same engineers
would just put their minds to building a better extension
The chips are uniformly crisp, half-discs. The small chips seen
mixed in here were from end-grain drilling we were also doing.

Extremely
Air-Tight
Results
At conference we shared some recent
tales of blower-door testing, and
among the many tight homes, two
results were standouts. A log home in
Denmark, built by Nicola LogWorks,
used Gasket Girls P-gasket and
achieved a stunning 0.87 air changes
per hour (ACH). John Boys reports
that the client paid special attention
to sealing doors and windows, and he
used gasket or membranes instead of
caulk wherever possible.
A log home built near Soldotna, Alaska by Jeff Parish and John Wilkins used Natural Log Homes 3-fin gasket and wool
insulation, and got 1.6 ACH at 50 Pascals. This meant that its performance qualified it for a 5-Star Plus energy rating, the top
of the rating scale.
Have any of your houses been blower door tested? Please provide results to Ann at the ILBA.
Good results like these must be shared!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
By Scott Stroud
As many of you know, Jerry Rouleau had been battling cancer for the past two years. Jerry passed
away surrounded by his family at St. Francis Hospital. He is survived by his wife, Valerie; his
sons, Jason and Scott, and Scott's wife, Amber; his daughter, Kerry, three sisters and numerous
grandchildren, cousins, nieces and nephews.
Few people I've known have had the opportunity to touch as many lives in such a gracious and
endearing way as Jerry Rouleau. Whether in business or in other aspects of his life, Jerry had a way of
inspiring everyone around him. He was a caring, giving person. You never left Jerry's presence without
feeling better about yourself, and that is a truly remarkable characteristic, one worth emulating.
After having lost his wife, Jan, to cancer 10 years ago, Jerry created Jans House of Hope, a fund
raising project that built a 3,100 sq. ft. home on a barge complete with 3 car garage, car in the
driveway and landscaped yard which toured seven cities on the east coast. The tour generated
over $15 million of publicity for cancer awareness in a two-month period.
During his career, Jerry spoke personally to over 8,000 industry professionals who have attended
his seminars & workshops. In addition, he was the author of Selling New Homes: Sales & Marketing
Workbook for Million-Dollar Producers, Selling More Homes the Easy Way, The Insiders Guide to
Selling More Homes, and the eBook, Selling More Homes the Easy Way, Part 2.
Jerry was the founder of BuilderRadio and the Selling More Homes Podcast, which he co-hosted
with me for over three years. Before BuilderRadio, though, Jerry had been involved in the housing
industry for over 25 years as President of J. Rouleau & Associates, offering public relations, sales and
marketing resources and consulting to builders, housing companies and building product suppliers,
including many ILBA members.

hats right. The average 2,200 sq. ft. home has over
5280 feet of log joint exposed to the elements. Dont

Naturejoin the thousands of homeowners who have sealed
their home with Log Jam chinking.
When other chinking pulls away Log Jam holds its seal.
Since its introduction in 1985, Log Jam chinking
has been the recognized industry standard
in elasticity, adhesion, and durability. It is
also the only chinking to hold a UL fire
resistance rating. Log Jam doesnt just
fill the gaps, it provides ultimate
protection against the elements.
