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.
