No trees were harmed in the making of this video (they were all felled in a big windstorm).

    I have no idea what a peavy is, but overall I didn’t feel like I was missing anything in terms of equipment. I wasn’t originally planning on using the telehandler but it did make hoisting the longest logs up and holding them in place a lot easier so I could secure them with rebar nails and long structural lag screws. There wasn’t much in terms of joinery except for where the logs sit over the door frame, otherwise everything was pretty straightforward.

      Oh it’s a hand tool about the size of a shovel but it has a claw and a jaw and you use it to roll logs. The spelling is peavey

        Oh! Those! I considered asking around to see if I could borrow one at the beginning of the project but then just ended up using some long sturdy boards to get leverage.
