a Log Home
We do the initial construction
of the log building on our site in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley, then
dismantle it and ship it to the foundation, where we reassemble it.
Our
log shells are designed so that a carpenter can easily come in to do the
finish work. The logwork is finished to the "Carpenter Ready"
stage, a point where another carpenter coming on the job can do his work
quickly and efficiently without having to cut into the logs in any way.
All finish cuts are made, wiring channels prepared (including square holes
for receptacles and switches), logwork cleaned, and two coats of high-quality
finish applied.
Our
term "Carpenter Ready" is an important one. We have learned
through experience that there are many important preparations to be made
in the logwork that make the carpentry portion of the job quicker and
easier. We have often been complemented by carpenters and electricians
who come on the job feeling a little apprehensive about working on a log
home, only to find that their work has already been thought out and prepared
for. Such forethought is an important part of our craftsmanship.
This sign (right) was made by a carpenter who was proud of his association with us.
Our homes conform to the International Log Builders Association standards. (See Links page.)
