getting things updated

We are updating ourselves...which is good because in some case's it has been 16 years ( our logo) others web site ( 7 years ) and then the addition of newer photo's.

So 1 of our customers Jamie Zanotti who has lived in her log cabin 10 years also does photography. She usually shoots Weddings, High School Seniors and families.

I thought I would ask her if she could bring that eye to shooting some of our homes so a week or so ago she and her family came to Bend for a couple of days and shoot 13 of our homes some where just a bit of updating others had never been done professionally before.

So click on the link in the next post and it will take you to here photography blog and enjoy : )

Round Log Walls Or Flat "D" Log Walls

So I was looking at my header photo which is a wall in my Dining area and it shows a Flat " D" interior wall.

The photos below are from a round interior home and as you can see you can still hang things from the wall. In this first photo it shows a log wall on the right side with window and door and then the wall that the fireplace is on is an interior wall with log siding on it but they both match up and look the same.

The next photo is taken in the master bathroom...this shows how you can hid some plumbing in the corner with a branch or a log post. The vent pipe needed a place to go and the plumber put it in the corner but instead of boxing it in the home owners found this branch and it does a great job of hiding that ugly black pipe ...

In this photo you can see how you connect an interior sheet rock wall with the round log wall. Also notice how again the home owner used a great old chest to become the vanity of the 2 bathroom sinks.

So maybe this helped let you see how you can connect things when using round log walls....

Mid October Already !

So I was watching a show last night and the main actor was suppose to be writing a book and he had writers block. I have this blog and it seems the last year or so that is exactly what I have.

I feel really bad because I know if you visit my blog you are looking for something new so today I wanted to post something new and hopefully plan to do that again at least once a month! So help hold me to it please : )

Over the last year I have taken on a new challenge of learning a drafting software program and love it. I have found it has been best thing for me because it is keeping my mind going for sure and a it has been pleasure to create something.

I'm working on a home plan right now for a very cool couple that Cliff & I have been talking to about log homes now for around 11 years and I thought I would show you what my new program can do.

This couple wanted a combination of the Lakeside I & II floor plans. So here is where we are right now on their design.

For your information the floor plans you see on our site are just a starting point for you to use but remember this will be your home and your design so please don't feel that you have to use our floor plans or that you can't change them. With "in house drafting" anything is possible!

Spring is it ????

This week we took off our snow tires and worked in the yard..... then this morning got up to a new dusting of snow! Yeah you can blame us.

Cliff & I have been out on the land this last weekend and again this coming Sat. What I mean by that is we love to walk your land and see where it is that you want to build your log cabin!

By doing this we all learn a ton of info and the best part for us is when you are talking about that wonderful view you have we understand!

So if you have been thinking about building a log home and you have land or are looking at some land to buy call us we would love to come see !
