Yes they drilled through the first log or on end walls 1.5 logs then I drill down to the hole and the wire runs under the floor.
Have not posted in quit a while because it is all behind the wall rough in stuff.
Here are light mock ups for the wife’s approval, these came out of furniture factory. They are from the 50’s.

There is a company that sprays every year to prevent them, I know someone who uses them and says it works.
When they stained it the second coat has a citronella additive, so far since they did it in March have not seen any bees or many bugs flying around the house
Well the crap is staring to happen, can’t find 2x6x10 pressure treated lumber within 50 mile radius of me.
That sucks. We got our materials from the Amish, if that’s an option for you.
I’m sure everyone spending stimulus money on decks and chicken coops helped.
There is a shortage from local suppliers, my wife’s company is buying lumber from all over the world because they can’t get it domestically
Clay, was thinking of you as the lumber for our traditional stick built home hit the site today. Luckily we are price locked with Schumacher.
Got a buddy who's building with the Amish and he was notified of an $8K lumber cost increase a few weeks ago due to supply n demand. How are things with the cabin after 1.5 months of looking for treated?
