After several days of prep, the third course went up without too many complications.
My parents were in town for a few days and my dad Scott, who had built several log homes in Oregon many years ago, was a big help. He helped Jeff stack two logs and soon we were well on our way to having the third course completed. 
They eventually got around these issues and got the log into place.
My mom Colleen with Brooke, watching from the picnic table. My parents had brought this table up for us, my mom stained it and even dug out the pad where it sits. It is definitely a much needed resting and lunch spot.
Our buddy Mike Christie picked up this scaffolding and drove it up over the weekend as well, which we really appreciate.

This front log did cause some trouble when it wouldn't slide over the overdangle as the others had. They positioned a board for it to slide over, but the board cracked. Then the chain hoist jammed up.

The laboror did a good job and it allowed Jeff to work on other things and save his strength.
Jeff finished up the rest of the third course by the end of the weekend.
Finally starting to look like a log home!

So, with the scaffolding we are ready reach new heights. Its time to move the chain hoists higher and then its on the fourth course.
