Premium Package Contents

 Our Premium Package includes many components that other companies offer as costly upgrades. 
 

• Our Advantage Log System which refers to the double tongue and groove joinery system.  This makes setting the logs in place atop each other a relatively simple process.  Logs are milled to the specified profile and shipped in random lengths, typically up to 14'-16' lengths for Eastern White Pine.  Logs are not precut for window/door openings or corner connections and are not pre-drilled for lag screws, dowels or electrical.  
• Linear Feet of Advantage Eastern White Pine Log Siding in profile to match log
• Structural Second Floor System consisting of 4 x 8 white pine beams (3 foot on center) with 2 x 6 tongue and groove fir decking. 4 x 8 or 4 x 10 girders.
• Structural Roof System consisting of 4 x 8 rafters (3 foot on center), 4 x 10 ridge beam, 2 x 6 or 1 x 8 tongue and groove sheathing.
• Log Skirting in 2" nominal thickness, typically two courses in a style and species to match the log wall materials, is provided to cover the exposed band of the floor system.  Log skirting does not provide for a notch and pass type corner system overhang.
• Gable End Truss or Framing per plan: For areas utilizing trussed roof systems, a gable end truss, and featuring framing uprights and, if applicable, a cut out for a gable end louver, is provided.  Gables for other areas consist of Log Siding and no framing.
• Roof Sheathing: 2 x 6 roof decking with 4 x 8 beams 3 foot on center
• Polyso Insulation Panels: roof insulation panels are R-25 and include all screws and lath. Ready for OSB or metal roof.
• Barge Rafter and Gable End Overhang (12" standard): a 4 x 8, 4 x 10, or 4 x 12 barge rafter (rake) all done structurally.
• 12"-14" Standard Eave Overhang: Standard eave (along the walls running the length of the building and perpendicular to rafters) overhangs are typically 16". However, steeper pitches feature a shorter 12" overhang so the overhang does not extend below the top level of windows and doors.
• Porch Posts: Porch posts are 4 x 6 x 8' and are typically installed at 6'6" to 7'6" centers, and provide support for the carry beam and porch roof above.  Support posts to grade (to the ground) are not provided. Porch posts are rough sawn and are Eastern White Pine.
• All Required Hardware for Log Joinery
• Double Row Advantage Adhesive: adhesive installed atop the tongues on the logs in a continuous run.  This also allows you to use less caulking.
• Hardwood Dowels for Vertical Joints and Corners
• Douglas Fir Heavy Timber Stair Package (for multi-story homes.)
