RUSTIC TULIP POPLAR

Mike HOmpertz from Patriot Log Home builders, had come across Grizzly log homes in his Craig's list surfing, He found  the site and discovered that they offer TULIP POLAR, in addition to pine and cedar.  Meanwhile , Mike made contact with the owner and began to establish and relationship. Mike and his wife , had an interest in selling. To learn more about the company, its product and the integrity of the man behind it, Mike  went to pleasant shade Tennessee for 9 days to work on the following log home made from rustic  tulip polar.

What he found was a product that exceeded his initial  expectations. The  rustic tulip polar is heavy and durable and Mike saw first hand how it can and does stand the test of time. During the stacking process, mike found that it required more labor, strength and endurance to get these logs, waure , plum and to fit. This is how they did it in the old days, choosing logs, picking them from the pile and determining which should go next and working with the log to get in stacked.  This is not a numbered log kit. I requires experienced builders/carpenter.

What exactly does a RUSTIC LOG mean? 

Grizzleys  rustic log , in order to offer an very affordable log home, has intentional cut costs at the mill. The logs are not prefect, many vary in height and in width, this can cause gaps in the wood, and for those familiar with log homes, you can see that the exterior logs are not flat or prefect. However this is really is only an aesthetic, as proper sealing still insures quality insulation and weather proofing. 

  Single milled cuts down on cost. What does that mean? the log only goes threw a machine that cuts away one time the outer part of the log , leaving the heart of the log. In other milling processes , where the logs are all the same dimension and width, this heart will go threw a refining mill , which shapes and prefects the log. Such a log will cost up to another 30 % more. 

Get that OLD FASHIONED log home for less! This is a great log for a hunting, camping or second vacation home . For those who love nostalgia and like the rustic log look this is prefect. As you can see, the setting of this log home, merits the rustic log tulip polar choice.
