Siberia has a lot of incredible taiga land, which means coniferous forest that is usually filled with large cedar trees or even larch or Angarsk pine. They say that Cedar has some unique healing properties, but it also grows to be the largest out of any other type of tree. Plus it also contains some incredible natural oils that repel insects and keep mould and mildew at bay, plus prevents rotting. Cutting these trees to create log homes and cabins requires a lot of expertise and experience which the log builders at Bear Log Homes have.

So the log builders themselves are very connected with nature and love their jobs which make a big difference in the homes they build. All of the log homes they build are constructed in their working yard where they have proper protection and access to the tools and machines they need. They are able to do their work more effectively and efficiently resulting in homes that are built faster and with fewer wasted materials. Their yard is also perfectly level as well which results in a more level building as well.

Whereas building on soil on the building site can be tricky since soil and earth are always changing and shifting. The log builders use cranes in their Post and Beam work and to lift and set logs in place while building. They specifically use a gantry crane which lifts the logs with slings allowing for more precise and accurate setting of the logs. For those who live in Russia, they invite people to come to visit their yard in Khakassia near Abakan.
