Another Vertical Log Home Builder

Another Vertical Log Home Builder BUILDINGS Houses Julian Lang says he got into vertical log building for several reasons “First you only need short logs Most of the logs we used for our cabin were only about 7 1/2 ft long Second no heavy equipment is needed to lift logs into position One or two people can easily handle the shorter logs Third there’s less problems with moisture because water runs off There’s nowhere to pool ” Lang takes the idea one step further by splitting logs lengthwise with a chainsaw and a homemade jig All joists and rafters are made from poles that he also flattened on one side Another advantage to building with logs is strength Lang used them for the roof which allowed him to make a 4-ft overhang all the way around the cabin Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Julian Lang W10533 Hwy 8 Ladysmith Wis 54848 ph 715 868-5636
