PATRIOT LOG HOME BUILDERS shows you first hand just how the logs are delivered and unloaded. Patriot shows up to every job the day before log delivery to unload your semi truck for you. They do this for several reasons, primarily so they can strategically place the log bundles and materials where it is the most efficient for the building process. They generally will have the sub-floor already installed, either they are contracted to do the work, or the homeowner has had int completed before delivery. Logs are mostly loaded on the deck to save both time and wear and tear on the logs. When logs are dropped a considerable distance from your home, given rain ( a high probability these days) and with out a forklift(something we advise heavily on ...a solid investment for your log home) logs can get extremely dirty, stained and sometimes even dented or scratched.
