Milled Log Homes

Milled Log Homes

Not all log homes are created equal. In fact, there are a variety of methods and materials used to create the appearance of log construction can use either manufacturing or manufactured logs, half log or divided, the registration panel, or a combination thereof.

Manufactured or milled logs components are complete record of everything that needed doing sonar (a type of caulk) to seal the joint surfaces where the logs off of each other. Since the work machining, this method usually requires a hidden strip detail and a further means by the two components.

Half log record or division is essentially a facade treatment that places the components of a recording medium to a conventional stick framed structure as is the method of inspection panel type.

The highest level of craftsmanship can be found in the hand method of drawing in which each component is described registration hand and then hand-peeled with a draw knife. The result is a tight fit that does not require chinking. This is accomplished by the hand-design and detail of the first corner wedge.

Improvements in technology and engineering have brought innovations to the industry that have improved quality levels, including the use of through-fixing which ensures the vertical walls through the sill plate and the foundation walls and footing. This allows periodic adjustments and take as records of continuing drying process and the structure is built that keeps a tight, straight wall solution.

The look and feel of a real home record is pretty incredible. Engage all the senses, as it is an almost surreal aura. Walking through the experience the wonderful aroma of wood, the immensity of the building frame open, large-scale visual beauty of natural construction materials, and an overwhelming sense of peace and belonging.

It has long been observed that are soothing earth tones and there is probably no better illustration of this concept of an ecological house built.

The written word captures the essence and the beauty of a home. Must be experienced firsthand.
