CUSTOM LIVE EDGE CEDAR SIDING ON A TIMBER HOME: This builder wanted something unique for his spec house in Southern Michigan, so he selected our "live-edge" cedar siding combined with scribed log trusses. The live edge cedar siding has a very unique look.

THIS CUSTOMER WANTED TO DUPLICATE THE LOOK OF THE FAMILY COTTAGE "WITH SOME TWISTS": Looking at the client's family photos they achieved the desired look and feel of their old cottage. Now the "twist" part comes in with the twig branches they have added. The twigs were so important to the design, we invited them to go into a cedar swamp with our logger when the slip was on to pick out their own branches. The slip occurs for three weeks in the spring when the tree's sap starts running, so the swamp adventure was timed to match this event. Everyone had a great time picking just the right branches for a specific part of the house to give the free flowing feel they wanted. This trip into the woods will bring back fond memories for years on how they helped pick their own unigue branches.

SOUTH CAROLINA:

LOG SPEC HOME IN DEVELOPMENT: The developer decided to build log spec homes to give this community in South Carolina a special appeal as compared to other homes in this lakefront environment. Utilizing Town & Country Cedar Products' 3x8 log siding, 4x6 trim and hand peeled cedar corner systems, this developer's custom finishes in northern white cedar cornered the luxury log home marketplace. This project of eight dream vacation and retirement log homes in South Carolina sold out well before their completion.

WISCONSIN:

CUSTOM LOG CABIN HOME: This custom log cabin home challenged the imagination of our white cedar paneling & siding products craftsmen. They were able to combine the natural characteristics of our tree length white cedar  siding, scribed corners and several strip peeled log trusses. When the lake house was being constructed this Wisconsin Builder had a steady stream of boaters stopping by to tour the log home. It started to become a problem, as each visitor had questions that required attention. However, the log home builder didn't mind, as he ended up with more new leads than he could possibly handle when the home was finished using northern white cedar products.

MIDWEST LAKEFRONT HOME

This lakeside homeowner wanted a completely refinished exterior of his T1-11 vertical pine-paneled home.  The 15-yr old paneling was beginning to rot in places with insects and woodpeckers taking advantage of the wood.  In the frigid winter months, this home needed an exterior finish product that could withstand years of wet weather; that product was Northern white cedar.  Approximately 3200 s.f. of 3x8 hand-hewn white cedar log siding was affixed directly over the T1-11 paneling. 4x6 hand-hewn Northern white cedar trim and 8" saddlenotch corners turned the exterior of this loved lakeside home into a beautiful log home.  In addition, a standing seam steel roof, offering 30+ years of maintenance free living, was installed to compliment the log siding.  New windows and doors, rebuilt porches with tamarack twig railing and stair systems completed the project.  The log siding was prestained using Sikkens (teak color), saving the homeowner from additional on-site labor charges.  Project time: 2 weeks.
