NEW! 2006 Updates to the Log Home
In 2003, the log home was finished in a protective coating of a product that was described as light oak. When applied to the logs the product gave an orange appearance which we were never satisfied with.
In 2006, we decided to update the Log Home with some improvements and a new shade of stain. Firstly, the balustrade was removed from around the property.
The decking was extended to create a professional alpaca viewing platform, where visitors can sit in comfort and view the alpacas that are here for sale.
The outer walls had to be grit blasted to remove the original colour, removing the outer 1mm of facing timber. It is OK of course, there another 8 inches of timber left. When the blasting was completed, the home began to look like a log cabin again.
Here you can just see Robin finishing off the windows, removing the final traces of the orange covering that left us feeling we had been Tango'd.

Then, finally, with the help of the UK's Log Home Experts, Windmill Lodges of Suffolk
The Log Home was treated to a coat of real wood stain.
And in August 2006 now it really does look like a Log Cabin.
