The Kingsley’s Log Home

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

The Kingsley’s log home is a modified version of the MLH-057 design (http://montanaloghomes.com/tier.php?cat=89&p=floorplans). David worked with Eric Bachofner of Big fish Drafting to make the changes that he wanted. Once the log package is fully handcrafted, Montana Log Homes will deliver and re-assemble the Kingsley’s log home in Pennsylvania. This post will be updated throughout the construction process, so check back often! {CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE}
