Tulip poplar log stack in Kn April


Mike HOmpertz of Patriot Log Home Builders went to Kentucky to do the log stack on the Grizzly package, a home just under 3000 square feet.



Log stack~ look at the progress in just 3 days!
Effective use of time and dedication



TULIP POPLAR- A HARDWOOD
Tulip poplar is a heavier and more dense wood than pine and cedar. It is 50 % heavier than both. The advantages would include more thermal mass, leading to a more solid and sturdy home with additional wind/weather Resistance including earthquake , tornado and hurricanes

Patriot log home builders moves tonnage!!
Each log average  16 feet long and  weighs about 150 to 300 pounds each, these were  placed on the sub-floor by the forklift then individually cut, moved and set by hand. On this  semi load of logs it carried s 8 skids, each skids which  holds about   25  logs per skid or about 20 tons of logs
Patriot moved 27 tons in just 8 days! The garage was full log as well.  This requires endurance and strength, Patriot worked an average of 9  hours per day(excluding breaks)  and worked straight threw. This is the type of dedication you will receive when Patriot Log Home Builders shows up to build your home.  This print called for a 13 log stack, however with Patriots thrift in cutting the material and the log management with layout, additional logs were available and with negotiation with sales of Grizzly an additional course was added.


Why  use a professional to stack your logs ?
This is not the place to try to save Money , hire a specialist, it is NOT suggested to use a stick framer or general carpenter to stack your logs, it requires special tools and skill . Do not let them learn how to do this on your home, you will be sorry.
  • Your house is forever
  • Do you want to gamble with an unskilled laborer?
  • Number  1 problem , walls out of plum! Serious issue !
  •  Missed gaskets (not air tight)
  • More waste of time and material  and your money !
  • walls out of plum effect house home, it will show up EVERYWHERE , your doors, interior walls, trim and roof framing.



    What if my log stack is out of plum ? How can I fix it ? 
    The only thing you can do , is take it down and re-stack it . This time hire a professional, the money is well spent.
