George students are among hundreds throughout B C taking part in the Canadian Cancer Societys annual poster contest South Do-it-yourself log house built By Dale Smith Citizen Staff Reporter From falling the logs to setting in the front steps when Harry Malakoff of Fort St James builds house hes a genuine do-it- yourself type When Malakoff a relative new comer to the Fort chose to build on the shore of Stuart Lake he decided a log house would please the eye and the pocketbook so he set to work He cleared the land and cut and stripped enough logs to notch a 1500 square foot house in pioneer fashion With meticulous attention to fit each log was hand notched with a small axp used as a chisel then with a power saw Malakoff notched each one until it lay tightly against the log beneath it Looking at the wall not a speck of light shines through and no need for insulation or mud fill is seen between cracks The actual placing of the logs began six weeks ago and now the race is on to have the house roofed before the first major snowfall Building log houses is a dying art Malakoff commented as he balanced on the top beam marking spots where gaps showed between logs Each spot would have to be trimmed for a tighter fit This is my first attempt but Im ready to try another one when this is finished he added He demonstrated how three long ridge poles would support the roof he has yet to split shakes to cover the roof A full size house he estimated would cost 4000 Highways contracts awarded The contracts totalling 2 514294 were awarded this week to two contracting firms for road work
