  • Patent number: 3979862
    Abstract: A modular building structure is formed of wall sections of superimposed logs, the logs being slightly flattened on their abutting top and bottom sides and having vertically aligned transverse slots in their ends. The flange of a structural stud, such as rigid vertical channel member, is interengaged with the slots to hold the logs in position, and wooden wedges secure the logs to the stud flange. The logs on the sides of the building generally alternate in their thick end--thin end placement to keep the logs fairly level. Some log sections on the ends of the building have a majority of their thick ends positioned toward the center of the structure to accumulate their heights under the higher portions of the building's gabled roof. The roof includes a series of rafters supported on a series of the structural studs. The rafters are in turn connected to one another by generally parallel purlins running the length of the building.
