Log Home Packages

It happened again about a half hour ago. The phone rang with a log home call. Not a call wondering about the log homes that I sell but a call looking for help. This particular call was from someone that purchased a log home package already and construction is under way right now. They are at the point of the log tie beams being installed as well as support posts. All that is fine, its great to hear that they have their dream log home underway. The part that isn't fine is their log home package didn't come with any brackets or fasteners for the log beams and posts. Their project has now stopped while they are trying to figure out what to do. They resorted to google this morning trying to find someone here in this area that can help them out. It was the homeowner calling and gauging by the sound of his voice, his patience were soon to run out and his frustration level was on the rise. Brackets, plates and fasteners for those components are a very important part of the log home. They have structural importance and need to be the right shape and size to be able to support the load that is bearing on them. They may be small in size but are very important. Once again, make sure you research the log home package you are considering thoroughly. Job site delays like this homeowner is going through right now are not any fun.
