Please note the size of our
logs when compared to the most popular log used today. Our logs are 8"x12"
compared to the 6'x8" log offered by others.  The
following is a scale drawing comparison.
Our post and beam interior construction which is included in every log
home package consists of 8"x12" drop beams and 8"x12"
support posts. The ceiling joists which double as floor joists for the second
floor are 4"x12"... massive indeed when compared to other log home
packages. You will never experience any swag or twist in our construction. A
special cut log is mitered in the factory to receive every ceiling joist.
COUNTRY ROAD LOG HOMES features a "four way lock corner." It
is a part of the patented inter-locking corner. The logs which make up the
wall cannot move in either direction. Not only does this eliminate any
shifting, it makes the log kit easier to build and insures a plumb wall.
But the most radical and greatest feature of the Country Road log wall is
the continuous "through rod wall construction." At the factory, each
log is pre-bored - (sixteen inches on center). When the logs are stacked
according to the blueprint, the holes are inline. Our logs are not spiked or
nailed together. The logs are simply stacked to the complete height of the
wall…then a 5/8" threaded rod is inserted from top to bottom…sixteen
inches on center along the complete length of the wall. When the rods are
tightened, obviously the compression realized is tremendous. However, here is
the main benefit. Because of the unique design and innovation, the wall can be
tightened again a year from now after all shrinking and settling is over. This
eliminates the major problem with log homes today…the gapping between the
logs allowing air and water infiltration.
You never have this problem with a properly constructed COUNTRY ROAD LOG
HOME. There are too many other features to insert on this web site. Call toll

BUILDABILITY
The COUNTRY ROAD LOG
HOME is the simplest log home package to erect in the industry today. If you
can stretch a string, read a level, insert a threaded rod and attach a nut and
washer, YOU CAN BUILD A COUNTRY ROAD LOG HOME. Every log is pre-cut,
pre-bored, pre-numbered at the factory. There are no spikes to drive or
struggling to keep the wall plumb and straight. It is almost impossible to
erect our log wall erroneously. Let us prove that to you! It is a perfect
project for the "do it yourself person" and by so doing, a
tremendous amount of money can be saved in building your dream home.
SALEABILITY
A completed COUNTRY ROAD
LOG HOME is a thing of beauty. Log homes in general sell for more than a
conventional home. This is due to the uniqueness..not everybody has a log
home. In fact, there are few on the market. Check your local real estate
listings to prove this point. Those who live in a log home never want to leave
it. They only leave, in most cases, to build a larger one! Conduct your own
test. Ask around. Ask your friends and co-workers who are looking to buy or
build if they would like to have a "state of the art" log home. You
will be amazed at the percentage who would buy a log home today if it was
ready to move in.
FINANCEABILITY
We have never had a
problem financing our log homes for qualified buyers. In fact, we can even
arrange financing for the "do it yourself builders."
