The front porch of this log home spans across the entire facade. It overlooks the family's pond and beautiful countryside. The porch posts, hand rail and logs are hand-hewn. The 8x12 logs feature a chinking groove (for aesthetics only) and Dovetail corner assembly. This is a modified Pleasant Grove design, built with 6x12 Traditional Solid Kiln-Dried Logs, manufactured by Timberhaven Log & Timber Homes.

Rastra blocks (insulated concrete forms) covered with a pre-colored coating add one more feature to how maintenance free and energy efficient this small home is. The 2 logs visible here were harvested from the footprint upon which the house is built.

The wrap-around porch of this log home features the traditional, natural peeled logs as posts and top rail. To complete the cable railing, the owner incorporated round stainless steel posts and cable infill. The Copper post toppers make a nice touch.

Roger Wade Studio The porch roof was lowered back to the original rafter pockets. The 4 posts were replace with 3 natural cedars over the 3 stone piers. New stone steps were added from the nearby creek. Painted trim & windows. We kept the original rocker & pew. A peaceful retreat to pass the time.
