use numbers, not letters, as you'll likely have more than 26.
use a black crayon or some type of grease pencil that won't smudge too much and won't become illegible.
make a map. It doesn't really matter what order you number them so long as you have a record of where they go.
Take a hi-res photo of each detail (corner, etc) that you may want clarification on later. one CD of pics could save a lot of heartache later.
your barn may be a headache next year on reassembly. I don't know how to number once it is apart.

Hey Fella's,
I'm moving my 2nd of 4 old dovetail log cabins/barns in Minnesota. This one is a story and a half, logs are carved to fit snug enough to skip chinking, and the roof and rafters are gone. I have to disassemble to move...a real bummer.
What is the best way to # the logs?
I have a barn monster 27 x 17, with huge logs and a ton of them are long, stacked in my yard right now. I didn't nukber the logs because it had huge gaps, I hope this doesn't cause a problem when I reassemble in the spring.
