This Month's Featured Design
 The wide covered front porch invites and welcomes your vistors |
THE
Saginaw
The Log Connection continues to introduce new designs for summer.
The
Saginaw
combines modern post and beam log construction with classic Craftsman styling in a perfect fusion of tradition and innovation.
 Convenient attached carport |
The main floor features everything you need for day to day living.
Near the entry foyer is a convenient guest bedroom which could also make a perfect home office.
The nearly 30 foot long great room can accommodate two or three seating areas--one
for watching TV, another for lounging around the fireplace, and perhaps yet another adjoining the rear deck.
The large U-shaped kitchen features a pantry, and accesses the carport door and a utility-laundry room.
The generous master suite features a full bathroom and a walk-in closet, plus its own french door
leading to the deck.
At the top of the log stairway, overlooking the great room is a short gallery walkway which leads to two bedrooms.
Enjoy a morning coffee on the cozy private balcony, which is accessed from the rear room via a french door.
 The living room features a dramatic rock fireplace and vaulted ceiling |

At $83,550 US for the log shell package, this is an affordable dream home.
As with all our designs, you can easily customize it by adding a basement, or converting the
carport to a garage...the options are endless.
Remember, as a newsletter subscriber you are eligible for an automatic
10% discount off this price!
If you proceed with a design agreement during August, your price for the
Saginaw log shell will be an even more affordable
$75,195 US,
a saving of $8,355.
Money saved is money earned!

Log Home Construction Close Up
Fireplaces
A natural focal point of any room is a fireplace.
When it comes to a log home, it is natural to imagine a big stone fireplace with a crackling fire.
Outside the wind howls and rain beats down, but you are curled up on a comfy couch with a cup of hot chocolate...safe, warm, and secure.
Modern technology presents us with several options to make that dream a reality.

Full Masonry Wood Burning, with either an open firebox or a steel insert.
One advantage of full masonry is thermal mass: it will retain heat and radiate it after the fire has gone out.
However, heavy construction is involved:
it begins at the foundation with a big concrete slab, and continues right through the roof.
And if your log home features full stacked log walls, settling must be considered: anything above the main floor level
cannot be attached to the masonry construction.
A manufactured steel insert makes the fireplace more energy efficient and cleaner burning.
An open firebox lets a lot of interior air escape up the chimney, while the enclosed insert burns at a higher,
and therefore more efficent, temperature.

A Zero Clearance Wood Burning Fireplace
is similar to the steel insert mentioned above; however the major difference is that the zero clearance unit
can be installed into a wood framed enclosure.
Combined with an insulated stainless steel flue this gives much more flexibility in placement, and its much
lighter weight requires much less in the way of structure below.

Gas Burning Fireplace
can be fuelled by either natural gas or propane.
Due to lower burning temperatures, a gas fireplace has the most flexibility of placement.
It is also the lightest weight, again requiring less structure.
Another advantage of gas is cleanliness: no dust or wood splinters to deal with, and no dirty
chimney that needs to be cleaned regularly to avoid the danger of chimney fires.
However, while modern gas fireplaces burn very efficiently they are generally not adequate as the main heat source for houses in cool climates.
