The strength & security of a great American
log home
We specialize in affordably priced, high quality homes;

There are plenty of log home companies that sell million
dollar
homes-so do we, but our specialty is homes ranging between $ 130,000 to
$ 400,000. You can look to us for high quality energy efficient custom

Full Log or Split Log Construction Options First of all, what's the difference?
- Full log is a solid log wall like you would expect a log home to be.
- Split log is a partial log attached to a 2" X 6" conventional insulated wall.
Shown below are different profiles.

We Have Three "D"
Shaped Full Logs
|
|
|
- Log Profile number 2 is our best selling full log
ever. It has double tongue and grooves and a not so round exterior.
|
|
|
- Log Profile number 4 has a super round exterior. It
doesn't
have tongue & grooves. The builder on-site routes a groove. Why?
Because some people don't want to see tongue and grooves exposed on the
exterior butt and pass corners.

If you have always wanted to buy a full log home but were worried about
settling, energy efficiency, how to run the electrical wires, and
plumbing; you can feel confident in buying a Golden Eagle full log home
with all our construction options. We only use dry logs. You can see
photos on this site of our dry log inventory. We have a huge dry
inventory (most companies can't afford to do this). This means our full
log wall will only settle approximately 3/8" total.
Our 8"X8" full log walls have a high thermal mass property meaning it
absorbs energy and releases it. The R-Factor is only 10 but your actual
heating and cooling costs will be about the same as an R-19 wall. We
use Log Builder caulk and compression seal on all joints. 1 1/4" dowels
are used to strengthen and seal all butt joints.
Even on a full log home, Golden Eagle's walls on the second floor,
gable ends, dormers, and walk outs are insulated 2"X6" construction
with split logs. This makes for a more sensible full log home. Garage
walls are also split log, except over 2"X4" wall.
As for running the wiring and plumbing, we can show you how. Please
note that all the interior partition walls are 2"X4" walls so they can
be conventionally wired and plumbed.
If you have any more questions about Golden Eagle full log
construction, please ask one of us.
Golden Eagle's split log homes are conventionally framed insulated
2"X6" exterior walls with one of our split log styles attached to the
exterior. Golden Eagle's butt and pass corners are cut out of a solid
log so you can't tell it from a full log. Absolutely, positively nobody
can question the settling issue, the energy issue, the running of the
electrical or plumbing because it's an energy efficient 2"X6"
conventional home.
Vertical peeled corners are also available at a slight cost savings.
