How to chain saw a log window opening and the end of a log

PATRIOT Log Home builders uses the Makita saw 16 1/2 blade takes skill and strength and care as its use is/or can be dangerous! The blade is exposed ! This saw should ONLY BE USED BY A PROFESSIONAL !!!!

Mike HOmpertz of Patriot Log Home builders

Using a standard Chain Saw to cut a D shape 8 x 8 Tulip Poplar log

A technique that Mike f Patriot Log Home Builders uses is, when he stacks the logs, rather than cut them to size, i.e. cut them to the length of the window opening, he finds the closest log and lets them hang threw, then after the stack he cuts threw , after marking the side of the window opening and in one full sweep cuts the opening. This takes skill and a steady arm.

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?

Patriot Log Home Builders
Just back this morning from Kentucky after putting up the log stack on D shaped Tulip poplar just under 3000 square feet with attached full log garage . Beautiful Tulip poplar, this log stack took 8 days while the homeowner chipped in. True to the custom of Patriot Log Home Builders had the homeowner Tim  set the first log and he was filmed in the process. The stack went smooth as the product was exceptional.
