The Country Log Cabins manufacturing process is detailed and meticulous, beginning one tree at a time: 1. Trees are selectively cut to ensure reforestation and good forest management practices. 2. The logs are delivered to the mill where they are stock piled and prepared for the milling process. 3. The logs are loaded onto a conveyor belt to be debarked. The ground bark is utilized to produce high quality mulch products for the garden and landscape industry. 4. Debarked logs are milled into cants, which are sorted according to size and prepared for drying. 5. The cants are carefully placed into dehumidification kilns to be kiln-dried. 6. Big planers shape the cant into a log profile, in preparation to be pre-cut into a log home design. 7. Logs are graded, numbered and lettered from pre-cut drawings provided by the engineering department. 8. The chop saw cuts logs to length at the beginning of the cut line.
9. Each log is pre-drilled and counter bored for proper placement of lag bolts, making construction of log walls easy. 10. Dado cuts are made on the log ends making tight and secure corner intersections, as precision cutting is paramount to an energy efficient home. 11. Log bundles are presorted and invertedly stacked, within limits, to save time in finding the correct log during construction at the job site. 12. Each pack of logs is packaged, wrapped, labeled and bound for protection from the weather when delivered to the construction site, which is a big plus for builders and a money saver for home owners. 13. Remaining materials are pulled together and wrapped for delivery, providing Country Log Cabins' Complete Home Package.
14. Other materials needed for the house construction are grouped and wrapped for delivery. These materials are part of the multi-stages delivery offered with all Country Log Cabins log home packages. 15. As delivery day approaches, trucks will be loaded, strapped and tarped to keep inclement weather from affecting the material.
