Abandoned log home Saved by Patriot Log Home Builders 608 547 4129
Log Home Builder, Mike Hompertz NATION WIDE builder goes to OHIO to finish an abandoned log home for a new home buyer who plans to restore this Hochstetler log cabin and make it liveable.
See WALK THREW of Canton Ohio Log Home
MIKE HOMPERTZ of Patriot Log Home Builders was called in from homeowner Todd who found him from this website, needing him to 'save' the home that he recently purchased. It was an uncompleted Hochstetler log home that had sat in this state for about 5 years. The home sat on quite a few acre's and presumably Todd got it at a good price. However he could not move forward with putting inn electrical , as the interior walls were not up, nor the staircase to second floor. It is unknown who built this home and left it uncompleted.
BEFORE
Abandoned for nearly 5 years on a lovely property, no interior walls, stairs , incomplete siding, no porch ..unlivable but salvageable !
Homeowner in Ohio, bought this log home half completed. It sat for years, hence the discoloration. |
AFTER
It is clear here on the two dormers that Mike sided to see the discoloration of the wood. The home will need to be bleached and stained at a later date. |
Mike Hompertz is shown wearing his Carhartt jacket after the job is finished. |
The interior walls on the second floor, prior to this only the second floor was on, it was dirty, requiring cleaning, birds nests etc, Mike cleaned the home and left it in this state so the electrical could be put in.

COVENTRY LOG HOME BUIDT BY Patriot log Home Builders
LOG HOME BUILDER~Mike Hompertz

builds a 1500 square foot full log
COVENTRY HOME
in the hills of Colorado
I was called in at the last minute, "hey I don't think my son and his buddy can get this up before winter". I learned that they got my name from the Coventry Sales staff. Within four days, as luck would have it, I was able to accommodate them. Just myself and my son drove the nearly 800 miles to a small unknown city south of Colorado Springs in fall. Here I am with the son and his buddy, who was a school teacher. They were on the job site daily to help out. They helped stack the logs, nither had carpenter experince , yet were quick on their feet and had good common sense and they were a great help, plus we enjoyed each other and had some good fun. They were staying on the job site in their camper which was purchased just for this occasion. They provided us lunches , soups , stews and sandwhiches which was greatly appreicated as we did not have to leave the job site for meals and could get back to work quickly.
This house took two weeks with the four of us all by hand. I did not do windows and doors the intent was to get the bulk of it completed so they could finish up the rest.
