log cabin help - billyoh Devon

Good evening all,

I recently purchased a billyoh Devon 44mm log cabin.

It's been a frustrating day erecting the cabin as it appears that some of the shorter logs that fill between the windows and doors are poorly machined.
Therefore not all of them butted together flush and now I have finished building up the all sides of the cabin there is a 2 inch gap between the final log across the top and the logs at the front between the window and doors.

Has anyone had experience of building a Billy oh cabin or had similar problems?

I have pictures but struggling to upload. Will keep trying.

Many thanks

Andy

Thanks that's great advice.

I'm worried I've done something wrong but I watched the installation video, have followed step by step, and nothing I did could made the short logs flush.

I've emailed them already today and waiting for a response but was interested to hear if anyone had experience of this particular cabin from Billyoh.

My dad helped install the cabin and whilst I was at work it was raining so he thought it would be a great idea to give some of the pieces a first coat in the garage!
Was not impressed but he thought he was progressing the job.
