Beautiful work! Too bad 12” D. Is no longer available. ☹️
P.S.- God Bless America and our troops! 🇺🇸♥️
I just discovered your channel, I am starting my search and appreciate all the info, it really is answering a lot of my questions. I love your company's core values statement, a major selling point. Love the chemistry and honesty you two bring too.
What about bugs and woodpeckers going for lava?
Sometime can you do a video on how butted log splices are made and where they are normally located/spaced on a Satterwhite log home?
The only thing important is the fireplace and a good insert into the firebox . I like a fireplace with chimney out on the back porch to enjoy the fall or early spring . I hate summer and anything warmer than 50° F in the day. For those of us who actually work for a living , 50° is a perfect high of day so you don’t sweat a lot . I prefer a 2 bedroom 1000sq ft . home with eat in kitchen.
Indoor/Outdoor fireplaces are becoming very popular!
What is the price on 1000ft
Hello fellas. Question. Is it okay to use Sodium Hypochlorite mix to soft wash a log home?
Don't forget 💪😃
How about Oklahoma?
There is a Satterwhite business in Gunnison, Utah. A good friend worked there.
Gunnison, Utah has been our primary sawmill for over 20 years. We have other milling locations as dictated by the location of timber sources - as we haul timber down the mountain from high altitudes, it is important to saw the raw trees into an intermediate squared-off stage called a "cant" before trucking to to be finished into house logs in either Gunnison or Longview, Texas. The initial sawing close to the source of timber actually doubles the amount of wood we can load on an over-the-road truck, effectively cutting transportation costs in half. This is a huge factor in our overall cost structure considering we are delivering house logs all across North America.
Have you ever built a log home in Oklahoma. I would love one . Prayers and Love 💓 From Oklahoma
Do you build and finish homes both? And do you build in the Rockies or Appalachian’s?
We specialize in the log portions of the home. We are big believers in doing what is best for the customer, and from a financial standpoint there are tradeoffs in both travel and in working relationships that make it best to use local general contractors and sub-contractors in every situation possible. For instance, in the building trades, there is a progression of specialized labor involved in building a house. Foundation, plumbers, framing carpenters, electricians, finish carpenters, cabinets, flooring, painters, roofers, etc. Most of these trades are no different on a Satterwhite home than on a conventional home. For 50 years, we have proven that when Satterwhite sticks to the specialized elements of the log home, which include the entire structural system of interior walls and roofing system (not shingles, but structural elements like beams, trusses, rafters, and decking). By handing the log structure, Satterwhite removes all the uncertainty for a local general contractor, who would otherwise be forced to tack on a big surcharge on building a log home due to not knowing what he was getting into. For our customers, the advantage of have a local builder finish the home is there are no travel costs (lodging, mileage, etc), and the local GC will have established relationships with sub-contractors, and those relationships matter because the subs will prioritize work for someone they depend on for ongoing projects, and they are quick to respond if there is any issue requiring a call back. Because building a house requires supervision and attention to details, General Contractors typically have a radius of anywhere from 50-100 miles that they will accept projects, which allows them to be onsite frequently to keep an eye on progress. Satterwhite working with established reputable local general contractors is time tested and proven to deliver the most house possible for the customer's money. Call 1-800-777-7288 to speak to someone further information on this... sorry for the long response.
@@SatterwhiteLogHomes I do appreciate the long answer, thank you! Do you build in the Rockies or Appelachians?
Your homes are beautiful, but your opening statement is even better.
I would love to have a log home but I don't know if it will ever happen. Prayers and Love ❤️ From Oklahoma
I love your opening statement.
Wow, what an education. Thank you!

Are your logs kiln dried? I didn't see any space above the window for shrinkage.
Shawn, you are absolutely asking the right questions because shrinkage is the #1 issue with log homes. Every log home company has to develop ways to address this problem. The Satterwhite solution is to simply avoid it - we make house logs exclusively from dead standing timber, trees killed by natural causes. This wood is harvested from high in the Rocky Mountains, where the trees stand in arid conditions and dry over time to a standard that cannot, as a practical matter of economics, be achieved through artificially accelerated means. Kiln drying is effective for sawed dimensional lumber, where the surface area is a big proportion to the volume. But for massive timbers such as house logs, our natural curing methods are superior. The proof is our grading standards. We test each and every house log we deliver, not random samples from a kiln charge as is the practice in the forest products industry. Not only that, we handle materials carefully in our sawmills to insure that logs are tested on the end closest to the ground, where any residual moisture will be found. Finally, our standards of dryness are higher (lower moisture content) than industry standards. This all adds up to shrinkage and settling in Satterwhite homes that are so small, we do not have to compensate with specialized with workarounds, excessive skill or highly trained labor, and no radical design adaptations like crush zones, floating roof systems, dowels or splines, or though-bolts, etc., etc., etc. The benefits are huge both short term and long. For instance, our freight costs are lower because we are not hauling wet wood. The building system is tightly fastened, increasing strength and insuring superior performance when exposed to wind storms and hurricanes... Dead Standing Timber is "Nature's Finest House Log" is not simply marketing verbiage, it is time-tested. We've built many tens of thousands of homes to back up these claims. Sorry for the long response, but the more you know about Satterwhite house logs, the more confident you will be that these special logs will deliver superior performance over the life of your home.
What's the logic behind joey recommending that everyone builds a porch around the log home?
Longevity, reduced maintenance, low cost of ownership. Log homes can easily last 100 years, 200 or more. Keeping logs protected from the elements is key. This includes both precipitation and solar UV radiation. Coating systems (Satterwhite offers all major brands specially formulated for the log home industry) are essential. Porches add a layer of protection that dramatically increases the performance of coatings. Log coatings typically are comprised of a pigment layer and a clear overcoat. The clear overcoat contains UV inhibitors - think of it like reapplying sunscreen at the beach. A properly designed log home with porches, carefully sited in consideration of sun exposures, particularly on south and west facing directions, will lead to a long life and low maintenance / low cost of ownership.
I love and hold dearly all that you and your company stands for as a retired New York City police officer I’m watching the city I worked for being destroyed by these so-called social democrats which to men equal a communist
We're in our 50th Anniversary year, and in that time we've happily served every customer. A story printed years ago in Outside magazine said log homes were almost universal in their appeal, cutting across all demographic and cultural lines. That has been borne out in our experience. Log home people are good people, and like the famous Will Rogers quote, we've never met anybody we didn't like. That said, we're proud of our country and aspire to live up to what America stands for. Thanks for your service. Several of us at Satterwhite have family and friends in law enforcement, and we all wish the public was better informed about the demands placed on officers and the very real sacrifices made, both big and small. Not just by officers, but their families as well.
Very helpful. Tx!
Can you build in panamacity fl?

I hope someday I can get a Satterwhite log home . Prayers and Love 💞 From Oklahoma
Good job boys!!
Hard pass
Your Statement of Faith is heartwarming.
Checked out your new site. Very easy to navigate...
THERE'S NEVER ANY COSTS DISCUSSED ON THESE ADVERTISEMENTS!!!!! THAT MEANS THEY'RE EXPENSIVE......
Does anyone else have issues with interior dust? Could very well just be my duct work needed a clean out bit checking to see if any abundance of dust is common issue for log homes? Currently living in my awesome 1980 Satterwhite Home
Please go on a diet! Or get out of the advertisement.
how do u get the logs to look so good ? after there cut are they stained wet or dried first. just stain will protect them or is there a clear coat
We bought a log home last year and want to enlarge a window. Are there any considerations we should take when doing so? Should we support the above logs in any way while installing for a bigger window? Thank you.
Discuss with your salesman at Satterwhite for full details, but in general log homes have far fewer structural considerations when adding or enlarging openings in the wall. They are so overbuilt to begin with that the upper courses effectively serve as a structural beam. Again, have your specifics reviewed, but in most typical cases, this will not be a problem.
Dry logs.....plenty of roof overhang! Two big factors! Add to these, and maintenance is a must! Bi check yearly!
Thank you so much for making this video. I know you mentioned this is a condensed version, but this was still very informative against other information that I've come across so far. So very helpful. I have saved this video and will be reaching out with questions and asking for some local referrals to help us restore the our log home. Thanks, again!
Thanks for the kind feedback. We have passed your comments on to the presenter, Rick Webb at Perma-Chink. Satterwhite can supply you with a Perma-Chink catalog, with full details on Perma-Chink's extensive product line. Call us at 1-800-777-7288. BTW - don't let the Perma-Chink catalog scare you. The range is substantial, but the typical maintenance required by log homes usually only requires a few specific remedies. Of course, some log homes need more attention than others, and sometimes issues get complicated because early detection and treatment did not occur. Satterwhite offers the full range of Perma-Chink products, even those that do not apply to our Dead Standing Timber house logs. Get in contact at the toll free number above and send a few pictures via email and we will be glad to assist.
Why do you not have a flat surface on the bottom course??
In some cases of solid corner log designs such as Swedish Cope, we do have flat surfaces on some or all logs. However, with the 6x6 D House Logs that are the subject of this video, the normal double tongue and groove milling profile provides essentially the same stability and structural integrity as a flat surface. The alternative would require special milling of one course, which would result in additional complexity - meaning labor and potential errors - in the mill, the warehouse, and on the jobsite. We're committed to quality, so the additional costs associated with this would be acceptable, except for the fact that, with the experience of building tens of thousands of homes over the past 50 years, using unaltered tongue and groove house logs on the bottom course has never been a problem. That said, we're happy to discuss milling options at 1-800-777-7288.
I particularly liked the "Creekside" and wonder how large the basement would be in this version?
What do you think about a heated concrete floor? How much do you have to treat the homes in the South (I’m in Alabama)? How much is a 3 bedroom plan?
v useful, thanks
How about alaska? we bought a log cabin, and it needs some work done on it. Is there someone we can call local that is trustworthy .
So you have a safe color?
How much for for the red roofed cabin towards the end that says custom. You said fishing cabin or hunting cabin. With the smokey mountain logs. I'd just want the shell. I could finish it out. Pier and beam foundation is perfect. I do think I'd prefer a green metal roof but I'd be building it for my dad so that color choice would be his. Cabin would only need be 1 story. 2 bedroom
Amen! Hold Fast!
Amazing lesson! Thank you!
Id love to have a home built here in central florida
Amen 🙏
Praise the Lord 🙏
Should the tonges be cut off the ends of the pass logs?
Not required. We rarely see this done. Satterwhite offers a wide range of log profiles. While D-shaped house logs using butt-and-pass corners are by far the most popular over the past 50 years we've been in business, there are many options. Call and discuss 1-800-777-7288.
