Your Dream Home Comes True
What Differentiates “Lincoln Log Homes”
from other
Log Home and Cabin Kit Manufacturers?
No. 1 - THE LOG HOME PACKAGE.
Lincoln Logs goes above and beyond that of other log home and cabin kit
manufacturers by providing a cost effective log home package. We sell only
what the customer cannot purchase directly from local building
suppliers...exterior log walls and optional, interior log walls. Many of our
log home and cabin competitors sell a variety of materials along with the
log cabin home kit; trusses . . . decking . . . roofing . . . insulation . .
. interior walls . . . windows . . . doors . . . flooring, and other items.
The buyer thinks that such an offering is beneficial to him.
It definitely is not. We provide the
product which provides the buyer the most
economical benefit.
In most cases, additional materials being shipped
require extra trucks . . .at extra cost to the buyer. Other log cabin home
manufacturers providing these home kit options often ship a lower grade
material. Should the buyer wish to return any part of the purchase, it
becomes impractical because of the distance from the factory from which it
was purchased. Finally, be assured that no log cabin kit manufacturer will
sell any item without a mark up to cover his profit, handling and purchasing
costs. The bottom line is that you can purchase material locally from Lowes,
Home Depot, or a similar source for less money
while selecting the quality which suits your needs.
Then, there is the necessity of storing the materials
that would arrive at the same time the log cabin home kit arrives. Unless
the cabin materials are stored correctly in a building that offers
protection from the elements, trusses warp; doors warp; windows break and
warp; decking warps, and material often is stolen from the job site. Most
buyers do not have a dry storage place, so it is only sensible to purchase
“finish up” materials as they are needed . . . locally.
You will save money by purchasing locally... not be
required to store materials... and have reduced shipping costs.
A Distinct Lincoln Log Home Advantage
No. 2 - THE LOG
HOME KIT OPTION. Only with Lincoln Logs does the buyer have the
following two options:
To purchase in log home kit form; pre-cut logs which are
assembled at the building site.
To purchase pre-assembled log walls; where the logs are assembled at our
factory.
In log home kit form, the individual logs are pre-cut to size, and
pre-numbered. A stack sheet is furnished for each wall. Blueprints are drawn
for each house and accompany the log home kit. In addition, an instructional
video tape is available to every Lincoln Log purchaser upon request.
Two people can easily construct a Lincoln Log wall. They
don’t need any building experience. The process is simple. We show our
customers how to build the walls. The customer’s involvement is called
“sweat equity” resulting in a much lower construction cost.
The pre-assembled wall option: Should the buyer choose
the pre-assembled option, at an additional cost, each wall comes to the
building site already assembled. At time of delivery, the walls are set by
crane onto the foundation. The rafters and/or trusses and sheathing can be
set at the same time. When the crane pulls away, the house is “in-the-dry.”
The buyer proceeds with the finishing of the log home at his desired pace.
All remaining work is conventional carpentry. The benefit is increased speed
of erection and convenience.
