Watching your videos is so very relaxing! I know building those log homes is a lot of work for you all but I just love following along! Thanks a lot. These times need all the help you can give!

I'm no cabin or log expert but looking at those laid logs it looks so perfectly laid, straight no gaps that i noticed if that were my cabin home i'd be very happy with the job you guys are doing, great job guys

GENTLEMEN I WATCH A LOT OF YOUR VIDEOS AND YOU CERTAINLY HAVE A KNACK OF WORKING AS A TEAM WELL DONE.

Like watching a giant jigsaw puzzle being assembled, wonderful. The guys seem to work in well oiled teams and know their piece of the home through and through and the lady crane operator is amazing. Of course these guys couldn’t do their bit if the people who originally cut the wood, each lot unique to each 🏠 after that there are the fellas who come and lay it all out in the right place according to the plan without them the clockwork building teams would spend all day trying to find each log they needed. The brain of the man who originally came up with this idea must be AMAZING. When I eventually find enough money to buy a log cabin in the woods and mountains I know just where I am going to get it built !!

how long do you let your logs dry out before you build a home out of them?

Some of your cut offs wood make beautiful bowls if turned on a lathe.

@AmishMeadowsOfficial

Most of our logs are harvested green and then air dried for a few months. Sometimes we are able to find and purchase dead logs from the forest but we actually prefer thinning the forest and using green logs and air drying. It works out well and the end result is what you see on our videos and website.

Hello. What is the temperature outside in winter? Won't it be cold to live in this house all the time?

@AmishMeadowsOfficial

3 жыл бұрын

During the time we built this home in November 2020 the weather was around freezing or a little warmer all of the time. Now deeper into winter it drops a little bit below freezing. Our climate is probably similar in temperature to eastern Europe where we can get a lot of snow but not every winter. Logs are super energy efficient so the home will stay toasty and warm all the time and it will never be cold in this house. Log Homes consume less energy to heat and cool then almost every other kind of housing.

Hi Elvie... I saw those Dewalt cordless caulk guns you have there and am wondering what you think of them. I've historically been a "Dewalt Guy", and I need to purchase a cordless caulk gun. I can't decide whether to get the Dewalt or the Milwaukee. I actually have a couple Milwaukee 12v tools so I don't really care which I get as long as it's good. The one condition though is I need to get a 10 oz gun and a sausage tube gun and I would like to stick with one brand or the other for these guns. Thanks for any insight you can give me.

@AmishMeadowsOfficial

Dear friend! I'm from Russia! I wanted to check with you: do you collect from dry wood? Is it possible to build this from a fresh felled tree and is very interested in the gaskets that you put!?

@AmishMeadowsOfficial

When we harvest the trees from the forest some of them are dead and dying, and some of them are live, called green trees. In every case they are cut and selected to improve the health of the forest. So the logs that are green we take the bark off and allow them to dry before we use them. There are several sources of gasket in the United States and all of our gasket products are USA made so I’m not sure how to get them in Russia. But I would think you could find a supplier for a similar gasket there because there is also a log home industry in Russia.

The house was 6-12 roof pitch and the garage was 5-12 if I remember correctly. It’s pretty tall inside and when you go higher than this on a single level the costs increase because there’s more materials and labor. I think the home was very proportionate with roof pitches heights and everything. If roof pitch was any taller it begins looking a little odd for the overall design.
