Mike consults with homeowner on RUSTIC LOG HOME

  Brave homeowner from Mikes home town area is in the process of building his own log home. All the trees have been removed from his own forest, hand hewed and fitted. It is a very old fashioned method, rustic look, yet allot of hard work. Mike stopped on the site for some much needed advice as the project has come to a stand still. The log stack was begun with out a foundation poured, however the stack can be taken apart and reassembled on a foundation at a later date, but this is much more work.  Mike made this visit as a curiosity to this delightful homeowner whom Mike bonded with right away! He has made his expertise available when the homeowner is ready to tackle it once again.

It is important that if you are so inclined to proceed in such a manner, a do it your self kind of man, Mike is happy to take your calls and give you some much needed advice that can save you needless hours of work and save you in material costs with his suggestions. Call 608 547 4129. In addition, Mike can be contracted to help out with the roof, the hardest part often , especially if trees are involved as rafters, he can help you get over that part , and you can finish up. email him with plans www./patriotloghomebuilders@yahoo.com for pricing or give him a quick call with your thoughts.

Covnetry Log Home in TN

Lovely home in Tn quality product from COVENTRY

I started to work with a new crew that lives in Tennessee ...it was so refreshing ...that southern hospitality really is something, even in its toughest men. As I live in Wisconsin and work primarily in the Midwest and out East I can honestly say that personalities differ in regions. I enjoyed working on this home so much .

 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 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.
