I like the look of their homes. I have never built one. Aren't the walls prefabbed?

I know a few guys that worked on Lindal homes.

100% stick framed. No pre-built nuttin' honey. All the beams, lams, posts, are individually wrapped in plastic (cool for "rainsville" washington)

Its on an island and we are graced daily to a fly by of 4 to 5 Bald Eagles

the last one I put together was also like that. custom sized and glue up logs were shipped....you figure the size and color you want where and start stacking..

Cool.

How was the snow for you today? I screwed around till the snow melted then went out to get on the Brightwater waste plant project.
