At each corner, two beads of silicone are run over the log to act as a link for the grey butyl rubber seal from one log to the next. The black corner post is knocked in with a hammer with some silicone on it’s nose and the corner pad placed on top of the two beads of silicone.

With the conventional concrete footing and blockwork foundations done, a cedar sill plate and drip flashing are placed on top and then the log stacking can commence. Each log has 4 runs of foam seal and 2 of butyl rubber. Any stud holes or electrical conduit holes get some silicone sealant too.
