People often ask how I got started selling log homes. It was during the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, TN that one of my friends was watching a log raising and became fascinated with the idea of building a log home for himself. He came back to Burlington, NC, and asked me to help him build a log home.
From the early stages of that project, by hand cutting the trees from the property, hand cutting all the joinery with an axe and saw and constructing a very rustic and traditional log home, I realized there had to be a better way.
I worked with three different log home manufacturers and then found Appalachian Log Structures. I became impressed with ALSI’s ability to protect the wood products by pressure treating the logs and by their commitment to quality in all phases of manufacturing and design.
Since 1984 I have been selling ALSI homes as an independent representative, providing over 50 log homes packages to satisfied log homeowners in North Carolina.
Most recently I completed yet another rustic cabin on my property where you can sometimes find me and “the boys” practicing our bluegrass music.
If you are dreaming of your own log home, give me a call, bring your ideas (and your banjo) and let’s get started turning the dream in to reality!
