Our
log and timberframe home packages come ready to either assemble
on your foundation and subfloor or are available with an optional
subfloor package.
When
comparing packages, we suggest that you note that all kits are not
created equal. For instance, Sloan's Mill log kits come complete
with heavy timber exposed roofing and roof insulation vs. others
who may only include 2x4 roof trusses and no insulation. Read on
to learn what we include in our quality packages as standard.
