![]() Two to four experienced men from Montana Log Homes will travel to your home site and reassemble the log package. Prices will include delivery of the log package to your home site using flatbed trucks operated by interstate carriers. Gable dormers and shed dormers can be built in either full log construction or frame construction with purlins supported by log or framed uprights. The purlins and ridge logs will be milled flat on the pitched edge.ĭormers give additional headroom in loft areas and can create a more interesting roof-line. Purlins and ridge logs can be supported in a variety of ways: Framed uprights within framed gable ends and framed interior walls log columns full log gables log or beam trusses conventional trusses and a combination of any of the above. Joists are milled flat on top and a slot is cut in the perimeter log walls for easy upper floor installation. Log joists are then scribed through the log wall and notched over the stringers. Second level support systems consist of stringers (mid span support beams) with log columns or 6×6 framed uprights and settling devices. The loft and roof system can be done in either milled beams or round log. This method of construction can be done in both full scribe and chink style. Logs are custom milled on two sides and a dovetail notch locks them together at the corners. The log is turned over and stacked over the log perpendicular to create a corner. A chisel is used to “fine tune” the saddle. Logs are hand scribed at the corners, then using a chainsaw the scribed area is cut out creating a saddle along the scribe marks. The notches and saddles are filled with insulation and the result is a very tight fitting log wall. The final fit is accomplished by hand chiseling the saw cuts. ![]() All handcrafted Montana Log Home packages are built with the most durable and high-quality logs, and are offered in the following construction methods: Įach hand peeled, full length dry log is scribed to the log below and a V is cut along the scribe lines, the corners are saddle notched following the scribe lines as well. ![]()
