Log cabin vacation home in northern Wisconsin just finished on March 11th. We did find a rail and post on his back porch steps that the home owner asked us to repair after we had the home stained. We picked up the materials and had the railing repaired the following week. The pictures show the repaired rails before stain.

Well house

We are working on one of our customers rustic log cabin and surrounding buildings. The log cabin is over 80 years old. The water is supplied to the house is by a spring/well on the property. This well had an older structure that was falling down so we removed it and replaced it with a new small building. We haven't started on the log cabin yet but here are the pictures of the well house before and after. Just to show we do projects from large homes to small well houses.



This next log cabin is for one of our customers by Dubuque Iowa. The home was in pretty good shape just need a cleaning some caulking and 2 coats of stain to bring it back to the beautiful home it is today. This home we started at the end of February but with a couple of weather delays we didn't get it finished the beginning of March. The before pictures are with the snow on the ground then we got lucky and had 50 degree weather in Iowa in the beginning of March to complete this home.









These next images show the repairs and finished project on the log home in Markesan, WI. This home was finished at end of February 2016








Project completed in Markesan Wisconsin. This is a vacation log cabin for a family that need a few logs replaced and staining of the home. The below pictures are of the beginning to the end of the project. We did have some weather issues so we encapsulated the house and heated it so we could keep the project on schedule.



 
The house did have some repairs that need to be done before the staining could begin.

The log home in Kingston Wisconsin was completed on 2/8/2016. We will be coming back in the spring to do a few more projects that couldn't be done with the enclosure around the house.
The home owner had concerns with bugs and a few drafts in the house. The logs were not caulked properly or in some cases at all which we did rectify. The home owners should be pleased with the lack of bugs and warmer home. Please see the finished pictures as the house turned out great.

The Log Home in Kingston Wisconsin is moving along on schedule even with loosing a day because of weather and bad road conditions. If all goes well we should be removing the enclosure by Monday February 8th and the home will be complete. Below are pictures of the construction in process and the first coat of stain going on the house. The home owner wanted us to check the house if it needed any additional caulk (which was on the contract). After further inspection most of the caulk had failed or was never applied originally. We did caulk the home using over 50 tubes of caulk to seal the house.
