A number of people are moving to our area of Montana and building a Meadowlark Log Home. Many folks enjoy northwest Montana's surprisingly mild climate which has a good growing season. There seem to be many folks who are serious about living in the country and growing their own food and raising their own animals. Since this is what we grew up with, it seems like the natural smart thing to do, especially during these times.
March 23, 2009: Our first sighting of a meadowlark bird for the year, she was trying to enter through the glass of our office window!
January 1, 2009: We have always been a steward of the earth's resources by utilizing trees in need of thinning or harvesting areas of trees that have already died, instead of allowing the trees to be burned in fires, we harvest them and prevent the waste and pollution to enter the atmosphere. Log homes and related products are really one of the greatest examples of green construction.
For those unfamiliar with the term "green construction", it refers to practices in the construction process that are earth friendly, use methods to reduce waste, produce a finished product of lower energy consumption, and reduce the long term carbon footprint not only during construction, but through the life of the home.
August, 2008, Log Pavilion: A large log pavilion was erected for the City of Libby, Montana, along the banks of the Kootenai River. This structure is the first to be installed in Libby's new Riverfront Park, and will be a place for families to gather, and enjoy the river. The pavilion can be seen by going to our gallery at Amish Timber Frames on the main page.
July, 2008: Three Kalispell model cabins were pre assembled, sent to Dell, Montana, and erected at the Dell Mercantile for rental cabins. They can be seen when you travel along Interstate 15 south of Butte, Montana. An easy exit allows you to stop in and visit our friends at the Mercantile. We will be putting up a photo gallery and story about the cabins and the Mercantile, so be sure to visit our website from time to time. You will find them under the Kalispell floor plan section under More Info.
May 31, 2008. Three log cabins were sold at our Amish School Auction.
