Buxton Log Home

This Log Home located in Buxton Victoria, has a beautiful setting amongst tall Gum Trees.

This is the first Log Home to be put onto a 600mm Stub Wall made with bricks which will later be Stone Clad, the purpose of this Stub Wall

was the owners requested to build on a concrete slab, and to get the Log walls above the ground level to reduce splash from rain water to prevent any damage to the Log's

this was the solution

The Log wall being completed at our Log yard with the Log Floor Beams and Joist in place

Setting out the Truss Table to make the Full Round Necked Down Log Truss

Finishing off the Log Rafter

All the Log Ridge Poles and Purlins

Beginning to assemble the roof system at the Log Yard just to make sure it all fits

Putting the Log Ridge in place over the main entrance

Craning into position the Collar Tie truss over the two side wings of the house which will

lead into the two bedrooms, the Collar Tie Truss gives you clear access underneath but

functioning the same as normal Strut Truss

All finished, now we can mark out the positions to drill the holes for the

Power access and Hurricane Rods

Loading the Trucks in the Log Yard ready to move to its permanent site

Almost there, last couple of items then we are ready to go

Arriving at the site and preparing the Ant Capping for the first Sill Log

Assembling the Trusses then they will be craned aside until we have all the walls up

Putting the Through Bolt Connectors in place to hold the Jack Post

The first Sill Logs are now in place so we check we are square and tie the Sill Logs to the Foundation.
