Hi again, sorry for delayed response, was working in NYC and got caught in snow storm, delayed my entire project.
We built in Maine, the Riverside, which is like the Oakridge but 2' smaller all around. We've burned about 3 cord(?) weekends and a fe…
Hey David, my husband and I built a CLH log home kit from pine....we are please at the energy efficiency so far....this has been our first winter. Wood stove in walk out basement and small wood stove in main floor allow us to heat house up to 70+ de…
Love this picture! So sureal.
The logs were numbered , but stacked on the pallets in a very non customer friendly way. For example, you start w/ course A, than B than C and so on...we spent a day moving logs off of pallets to coordinate our letter groupings. And some letters loo…
Steve, my husband and I purchased one of their kits.....built it ourselves.....great price, and logs were dried....my husband says the T&G was abundant but not so good quality...lots of hockey sticks and some damage. Also some issues w/ their plans.…
Hey Shelley - The photo's attached show you so many of the great options you have....and I don't believe you can actually go wrong with what ever you choose. I do agree w/ your thought of the hickory possibly blending too much w/ the rest of the log…
Adam - my husband and I bought a kit "special" from Coventry in Feb. 08. Delivery was June '08. I shopped around for about 3/4 of a year and fell upon the special deal online. While I wished we had waited because the summer and fall of 08 brought ev…

Kathryn Scott-Witthar said… - Hi Diane and thanks for the invitation to be on your friends list. Mark and I were at the property yesterday while watching our ridge beam being put in. We had to hire that out because the beam is 38' long and 20" in diameter. It weighs in at 3300lbs. We couldn't lift that one together and it's up 22ft. in the air. We're good, but not that good. :) It was very interesting and we got some great pictures that I will load as soon as I pick up the disk. Those kids that put it in for us, made us feel really old! They just walk around, 22 ft. up and aren't tied to anything. They are very agile! Good luck with your house! I'm anxious to watch as our homes come together. I know you both are very proud!

It is fun to look back and see how far we have come in the last 12 months. We dug our foundation in May of 2008 and all we have left is adding some native landscaping. Hang in there -- it is well worth it.

- Hi Diane,
I apologize for not writing sooner, but I haven't been on the site for quite some time. We do love the slate and put it in our mudroom, our 4-season room and in our master bath. We recently even put a small slate tile on our kitchen wall and sealed it. I will post a few pics so you can see some of our other rooms.
My husband puts two coats of sealer on the slate and it works great. The colors really pop with the sealer, it is easy to clean, and there is no dusty coating on the tile.
I prefer the stone look of slate over ceramic tile. I think it looks nice with the logs and wood flooring. Good luck with your log home!
