Kodiak Log Homes - Log Package Contents

As specialists in the art of handcrafting log homes, our log home packages contain only the log shell, as well as any log features that are requested. Any log home package that we construct contains all of the log work required for constructing your log home.

All of the logs used in the construction of your home are hand-peeled, then scribe fitted (Swedish cope) and corners notched to the exact contour of the log directly below. The result is that each log not only looks great, but they also have a perfect weather-tight fit. We use only the best quality logs, which are winter-cut to insure a minimal moisture content in the wood. Since we do not use standing dead (bug or fire killed) wood, only healthy trees will be ever be used in a Kodiak log home.

Standard features included with your log shell are:

9' High log walls built from winter-cut spruce logs (12" to 14" mean diameter) that are inspected to insure straight grain.
- Different wall heights are possible, and will be accounted for if your plan specifies them.
All log beams, floor joists, and posts
All ridge pole(s) and purlins (roof system)
All window and door openings cut, key-wayed, and flared back
All archways cut and sanded
All corner notches cut using the Norwegian shrink-fit notch style

  - Diamond notches
All corners and door openings bolted with 9' long continuous bolts
