Hi Team , just back from another successful Log home assembly this time in Lower Hutt , a site with amazing views, and surrounded in Native bush,

Also last week a crew of us traveled deep into the Clarence river area to re instate a slightly  tweeked by the Kaikoura earthquake log home, the worst case was one door way out 20mm which was great considering the conventional home about 1 km away was 1m off its foundations , with some jacks rams straps and props we straightened all walls so the builder could add nice new joinery.

HOT item, Small log cabin, Office, Studio, sleep out, bunk room, hunting fishing cabin,  one tiny cabin for sale now under 10 sq meters so no building consent required, Contact Graeme by phone or email,
