The log houses with Meadowlark are handcrafted and come as a completely pre-assembled log cabin package, with exterior log walls and interior log walls where shown on floor plans, and with log walls up to the peaks including log gables, and fully pre-assembled loft joist and roof beam/purlin system. The log house walls are pre-drilled for 5/8 inch by 10-inch steel rebar pins, and the loft joists and roof purlins are drilled to accept wood dowels and are flattened, ready for tongue and groove lumber.

The logs for the homes are air-dried before use, so shrinkage is minimized, and since there is less settling of logs, the overall shrinkage of the log house wall is greatly reduced. Compared to other log walls, where only the outside edges of the scribed log contact the log below it or chink style where the chinking provides the support, flat on flat log walls provide the best shear and buckling resistance available in a log house.

They can therefore handle greater point loads and extreme forces from wind or earthquake. This exceptional stability allows Meadowlark Log Homes to easily build log walls up the gable ends to the peak log.

A colored, pigmented, or tinted log house stain must be used on the exterior to preserve the logs in your log home and should be done within 6 months of log house package delivery. Log homes are an energy-efficient home choice.
