Thanks Russell! Its a very rewarding job to help design and build projects for our clients out of natures finest materials ! It takes knowledge dedication and some honest hard work, no app for this job!!!
Красивый у вас кедр! Хорошее производство! Я смотрю ваше видео как инструкцию для производства своих проектов! Спасибо! Интересно посмотреть ваше производство своими глазами. Beautiful cedar! Good production! I'm watching your video as an instruction for the production of their projects! Thank you! Interesting to see your production with your own eyes.
the camera jumps around so much it was hard to tell what the video was showing. The piles of sawdust everywhere or the structure of the building they were in? Would be nice to see more than bits and pieces of the actual construction and techniques used to assemble the cabin.
+horse1066 The log structure before shipping and assembly costs.. about $350 000, keeping in mind that this is kiln dried wood and a very comprehensive roof structure!
+canadianpridelogandtimber That's pretty reasonable and about the cost of a brick house and land in the UK, (except building anything out of wood is extortionate over here, never mind using a nice one like Cedar). Thanks for the videos, very interesting.
+horse1066 This project is exceptional because of the large size and scope of the project and the logs, suffice it to say it is 100's of thousands for the log shell. A more typical smaller single family log shell that fits into 2 containers runs between 120-150 thousand !
You pay twice so make sure you get the full cost. You pay once to have it custom built than shipped and built again on site. Log homes are a ton of skilled work and will always be more expensive than anything else. Every log in this case is truly custom made, not like some manufacturers that machine all their logs and call it a log home.
Its manufacturing , and then the building is reassembled on a foundation when its ready! That's like saying your paying twice for your cabinets from Ikea, they are produced in an efficient manufacturing environment then installed at your site, this is the same! You don't order your car and expect them to build it in your driveway? Why would a building be different!
The fact of the matter as outlined in a life cycle analysis of log homes .We consume the least fossil fuels of all tested wood building techniques. Preserve the trees in a very natural state for generations to admire. 95 percent of the raw material we aquire is used in structures and stores carbon for generations, while new trees are planted and recapture more carbon! Its not perfect but it is one of the environmentally lowest impact methods to construct a home. So a waste of precious resources should be calculated in how much irreplaceable fossil fuel and non-renewable resources is consumed in the manufacture of the materials and building of a structure along with the decommissioning of that structure! That is in fact the true measure.
Graham Hoad; I consider that comment incredibly idiotic and naive. and what would YOU use the renewable resource that is cedar for, if not for insect resistant, fire resistant homes?
These guys are a crossbreed between home builders and artists. Much respect

How do they get the logs so clean debarked without destroying the actual log?
The Taj Mahal of wood. Impressive.
Very Nice !
What do you do with the left over bits and bites?
would love to see plans, sizes ?

Lots of these builders like to use pine; and these guys are using what is perhaps the premium wood for log homes: cedar.
That's very impressive, out of curiosity roughly what would something like that cost to build?

Please, keep the camera still next time . .
No respiratory protection? Cedar wood has microscopic barbs that hook into lung tissue I thought.
Safety first LOL
I hope you are not offended but I consider log homes to be a GROSS waist of precious resources.
