3 car garage with Studio apartment WARD Cedar log home built by Patriot log HOme builder

being set with the aid of a truck crane.
The large full log purlins that extend out past the roof give this garage a look of awe and magnificence! They are very heavy and require skill to set however. Mike HOmpertz of Patriot log home builders is experienced in this field. A crane of some type is required. A small truck crane was rented for about one hour by the homeowner (usually about $300 an hour) which does not include the wage of the driver, while the men gently guided and secured the purlins into place. The driver of this crane was very skilled and made the job go smoothly. You can see where they hand notched the placement prior to setting the mammoth beams.





This is how they turned out , what a lovely living quarters  this shall make for some lucky resident
