Our first cordwood building

We've been coming up with ideas to build with. Richard just read a small book on cordwood and we wanted to try it out on a small scale first. So we built the boys this cabin in our backyard.
We really didn't know the correct way to build cordwood, so we just kinda figured it out as we went along. We used clay, pine needles and quickcrete for the mortar mix. The roof is strong black plastic over a spiral of logs. There is the door you see and one window inside.
