Two New Log Homes Under Construction This Summer

On the left is the home of Justin & Sarah Penn in Mincoqua and on the right is the home of Harry & Joanne Radloff near Lake Tomahawk.

The Penn home started in mid-February and th Radloff home will begin in late April or early May,


     
It all started with the demo of an existing cabin. Above is what was left after about 5 minutes!
     
No holes dug just yet but the footprint of the house is staked out in the desired location.
    
     
Once the old cabin is removed the hole is dug for the new foundation.
     
Finally rolling on the Radloff cabin. Mid May and the foundation goes in. Log stacking in two weeks!
    
     
March 31st, day #2 of log stacking. Goes pretty fast once stacking starts. These are 10" Swedish cope logs.
     

By Mid June the logs are all stacked and the roof trusses installed.

    
     
A couple weeks later the first level is nearly finished.
     
    
     
By the end of May the roof is on and the cabin is really taking shape!
