Hey Rob, The "ServiceMaster" folks use baking soda blasting and these large ion type air filtering machines to eliminate the smell. We had a similar insurance claim a few years ago and the local professionals did a great job. If too late for insu...

Being with the volunteer fire dept here in PA, for a small donation, we would take our deoderizer out and run it. It takes the smell out. It doesn't take long and if you live where the firefighters are volunteers, they make a little money for the ...

I don't know if this will help but when my wife burns something in the house and it smells like smoke.I spray freebreeze on the curtains and chairs or anything with cloth and the smell goes away in about 2 days,you might have to repeat it next day...

It's a nice smell if you ask me. As long as you didn't get curtains or carpets or some kind of plastic burning, you can't complain much. Just wait for some time to go by and all the cooking and laundry smells will blend in to make up that homey sm...

30 Years...WOW how time flies

The year: 1978. We saw the first cell phone, the first arcade game in Space Invaders, and the original Star Wars: A New Hope. For a future tech geek like me this was a BIG year. But 1978 was also the year that my grandfather, Fletcher Parsons, was innovative enough to take his knowledge of wood preservation and apply it to the new crop of log homes that had begun to pop up around the country. His pioneering vision has now grown beyond his wildest expectations, and… Continue

I wish we had more to go by on the tour of the home on the website. We are able to watch it on a daily basis because we are so close to our building site. Each time we go up to check the progress we find out something new about the home. Which leads me to a question that we have. I will call you soon. Thanks

I appreciate being a part of the hood and wish I had gotten on board sooner.

Happy 4th of July and I hope your Open House goes well. We're having an Open House also - I hope it rains so that folks will stop in for a visit. :-)
