Log Home Faq
Do you have "Stock Plans"?
No. All the homes we build are custom. We can help with the design process and prefer to be involved in the design process from the start to ensure the plan can be built utilizing log construction.
What kind of logs do you use ?
We build with Spruce.
What about shrinkage and twisting ?
We use the latest building techniques to accommodate and allow for the shrinkage resulting from "Green wood". We use a "Shrink-to fit" saddle notch and the logs are all bolted with through-bolts (top to bottom) at the corners.
Will you build in my area ?
Yes and No.
We supply only the "Log Shell".
We pre-fabricate the log shell in our log yard in Turtlelake, Sk and number the pieces and ship it to your site and re-assemble.
What does the “Log Shell” include?
The “Log Shell” includes the following:
•walls flattened to accept roof system and one interior partition.
•window and door ways cut out, keywayed, bevelled and prepared for trim.
•log floor joists flattened to accept flooring.
•all ends on corners trimmed, curled on top and sanded.
