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.
