Patriot builds its first Coventry log home In MO

 ~Patriot builds its first Coventry log Home~
Patriot Log Home Builders based out of Wisconsin  travels to New Albany MO to build its first CONVENTRY LOG HOME ! We look forward to working this quality log home company. Today the homeowner shall put down the first log. A senior member of Patriot arrived Aug 30th to unload the semi truck, while Mike and Jeremy arrived Sept 1 st.

The camper was loaded with tools and taken to the job site where the men will stay. Every few days they will rent a hotel to take a shower  as there is not water on site. The homeowner has been kind enough to allow the men to stay right on the job site where they can plug in . One of the great advantages of this is that the men waste no travel time and can leave their tools right on site. Very efficient .

Ward Cedar Log Home Three car garage

Mike Hompertz of Patriot Log Home builders received a call from a Ward Cedar log home Dealer Don  to bid on this project which he completed a few weeks ago. The family , who works on a farm already had a log home. They loved it so much that they wished to add a 3 car garage to their property and add above it a living  area  above. They choose beam rafters and tongue and groove for the ceiling (see the second picture) which looks magnificent .
Three car garage aprox 1500 sq ft

purlins were set with a smaller  truck crane for about an hour  supplied by the homeowner. typical crane is 4300 an hour plus operator.    see veidos
