Mike Hompertz of Patriot log home builders just got back a few days ago from TN and he built the SHOTGUN to the point that you see, including the roof sheeting in 8 days.
Shotgun
The shotgun has a second story framed out to 8 ft side walls. This allows for a complete 2 nd story. We add 2 ft thru the dining & laundry room to allow entrance to laundry from dining & we add a stairwell where the old laundry entrance was. Because this is a 2 story home, you can easily add on all the way around the home as your time & money allows. This makes the shotgun a good toe hold kit.
This includes all wood needed to build the home. Logs, siding, porch beams, bead board interior, flooring etc.
