*****DAY ONE*****

This Log house is now at the finished Log Shell stage in our yard, we now clean the logs with a high pressure washer to remove all construction

Dust, Dirt & Oil's,we then we apply a Quantum Aquatec Pre Coat Stain to all logs to protect the surface during transport and re-assembly stage,

this also is the first stage of treatment for the exterior stain.

The following photos will inform you of the process that is involved in the

disassembly and re-erection of the Log Home to its permanent site.
