DELIVERY AND ASSEMBLY OF A STACKED LOG HOME
Before shipping to your site, the log home is completed as a free standing structure at The Log Connection build site. This process ensures each piece of your home has been properly fit and has passed our quality control examination.
Each of our handcrafted log homes is extensively checked and verified before ever being considered complete. When the final sanding and clean up of the structure is complete, each log is tagged with an identifying number. Then the log shell is dismantled and loaded onto trailers or into containers ready for transportation.
While we are conctructing you log package, your general contractor will simultaneously prepare your foundation and sub-floor at your build site. When the sub-floor is ready, the completed hand crafted log shell package can be delivered and re-assembled with the help of a crane and small crew.
Typically the log package re-assembly begin on a Monday. The delivery of the log home package is accompanied by at least one Log Connection technical advisor that will be with you for the entire stacking of the log home package and to further advise and assist your general contactor in the re-assembly.
