HERE'S HOW IT ALL STARTED OUT FOR TOM AND SUE, ANOTHER DAYLITE BASEMENT. THIS IS A
HOME WORTH SEEING IN GARDEN VALLEY, IDAHO. WE'LL MAKE THE ARRANGEMENTS.
ROUGH SAWN 6"x 8"FIR LOFT FLOOR JOISTS BLEND WELL WITH THE 9" WALL LOGS. 9" LOGS
ARE BOTH AN APPEALING SIZE YET ECONOMICAL. OURS ARE FULL SIZE LOGS.
THE RIDGE BEAM IS ACTUALLY 2 9” LOGS BANDED TOGETHER. THIS ALLOWS EASE OF
HANDLING, WITH EXCEPTIONAL STRENGTH. WE’VE NOTCHED THE 9” LOG RAFTERS
TO FIT SNUGGLY INTO THIS RIDGE AND THE TOP OF THE 9” LOG WALL.
HERE’S TOM AND MARK CHECKING OUT SOME ACTION IN THE LOFT. THE LOG POSTS ARE SET
UPON LEVELING JACKS FOR EVEN SETTLING.
LOOKS LIKE TOM’S WRAPPING UP FOR THE NIGHT. GOOD IDEA WHEN IT’S GOING TO SNOW.
A CLEAN WORK AREA IS BOTH A SAFE AND EFFICIENT ONE.
OUR PRE-CUT AND NUMBERED LOGS GO UP PRETTY EASY.
WE KEEP THE BUTT JOINTS TO AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM, AND OUR PRE-CUT PACKAGE COSTS ABOUT THE SAME AS OTHERS FOR ONLY RANDOM LENGTHS THAT YOU HAVE TO CUT ON THE JOB.
WELL, HERE’S WHERE THEY’RE AT RIGHT NOW. SOME PREFER LOG GABLES. THIS IS FRAMED
AND LOG SIDED.
THAT MAKES FOR EASIER WINDOW FRAMING AND SETTING HOWEVER, THE USE OF FULL LOGS IN THE GABLES DOES PRODUCE A BETTER LOOKING HOME. IT’S A MATTER OF CHOICE AND BUDGET.
AND HERE IS THE FINISHED PRODUCT!
EVERY VIEW CAN BE AS MAJESTIC AND BEAUTIFUL AS THESE WITH A GRAND TETON LOG HOME!
