What happens here

To create a decorative architectural element that suggests the house is sitting on log beams, select a log and cut it into an angled section using a chainsaw. The log is first squared off and then cut with a specific angle, making it appear to fit into the house's structure. The resulting log piece is then carefully lifted and positioned into the designated opening at the peak of the house, ensuring it is securely placed for a visually appealing effect. This step is purely decorative and not load-bearing.

Goal: Create and install a decorative log element at the house's peak.
