The first video in a two-part series showing the construction of a "REAL Log Homes" log home kit by Seven North Log Homes, previously Cathedral Living Log Homes. The Host has no relationship with this company, just giving for your information. It took 3 days to erect the weather-tight shell, another day or so to button up some details and 5 years for the host to finish it inside! I truly loved this home but had to sell for professional reasons. Listen to my podcast on log homes for more information! www.hofpodcast.com

  • This video has convinced me that I DO NOT want to try and build the shell myself! I better leave that to the professionals.

  • @BlueRidge27 It is not technically difficult - it takes more brawn than brains to get one together! A basic knowledge of building will help though, as will knowing some basic trouble shooting skills to be able to figure out the details, like how to lift heavy things real high!

  • @sonny4223 Many log homes require bolts that go top to bottom (all-thread) 1 foot off each window and door opening and within every 5 feet along the wall. This depends on where you live and what kind of house it is (hand crafted / milled kit). Personally I would only have a full size log home, I don't like milled small logs that look like siding.

  • By simply looking at it, building a log house may seem difficult. That's why these experts are here to do the job for us. Not all men have the knowledge to do such craft.

  • @rangaman86 Hi. I was told when I built mine to put the long screws every two feet in every log cource also was told each cource of log should have calk or they make rolls of thin foam that can be used.

    the thin bolts are deciving they are temperd and VERY strong. hope this helps

  • Do you need to put those long screws in each log you put down? I would really like to know more about the construction of these

  • I thought for sure they were going to shatter a window doing this....

  • more mullets than a billy ray concert. cool logger though

  • Good video, one of the better ones.
