This log home is a variation of the Sierra plan and is located in Silver Gate, Montana. The snow load is about 150 pounds per foot and the job site location is at 7400 feet elevation and is at the base of a mountain peak. The logs are a 9″ Swedish Cope. The exposed log roof system is elaborate due to the high elevation and snow load. The log ridge beam over the great room is massive in size with two sets of purlins added for additional support. There is also a log truss built into the interior wall by the edge of the stairs in the great room. The dormer ridge beams, floor joists, and support posts are also round logs. The railing is log but there is a timber staircase from the first floor to the upper level.
Construction Phase –
Any projected costs, cost estimates, material costs, and estimated construction/ building costs, are only the opinion of Cowboy Log Homes and are drawn from our experience. Every home is custom tailored to meet our individual client's wants and desires. The construction of a log or timber home is based on two primary costs: material provided by the log home company and construction costs contracted with Cowboy Log Homes as the builder or another builder of the customer's choice. Final costs are obtained and contracted with each respectively. Cowboy Log Homes is simply the "glue" that helps bring these two together to provide a final culmination of a customer's project. * Please note photos and elevations may differ some from accompanying floor plans.
