As you can see, we have a
great time at shows. We really enjoy meeting new people
and making friends with our customers. Don's background
is as a consultant: sales management and marketing, mine
is real estate sales and marketing.
We retired a few years ago
and then were introduced to Lodge Logs through our son
who lives in Nevada City, California. He is a Lodge Log
dealer and told us about this wonderful product which he
was building. He thought it would be a great opportunity
for us and Lodge Logs because the company was in the
process of completing construction of their new state of
the art mill in Boise and they were looking to expand
their production so as to provide additional product for
the New England market. At the time their production
was absorbed by demand in the western market and the
Pacific Rim, but the East was on their radar screen.
Don went to Boise in July
of 2001 and the rest is history. We have spent a lot of
time doing missionary work, introducing Lodge Logs to
clients and builders in New England. Using beautiful
western woods and their perfected bolt through system of
construction, the response has been very positive. Most
of our customers are people who have been looking for a
long time or have spent time out West and are familiar
with log home construction out there.
One of our first customers
had been looking at log homes for 14 years. Once he saw
the beautiful, milled, dry Western Whitewood and Douglas
Fir logs which are not grown in New England, he knew his
search had ended. The builders we work with who take
pride in their homes are great emissaries because they
know the finished product is superior to anything they
have built before and they appreciate having their name
associated with quality craftsmanship.
We strive to be the
absolute best at what we do and we are there for our log
home owners. We are not builders, but we will
assist you in locating and interviewing builders or making sure your
builder understands the Lodge Log construction techniques. Having built our model Lodge Log home in
Dover, NH, we are fully aware of the ins and outs of the
building process, the support from the factory, the
value of the master log builder who is the technical
assistant to the project, the finishes to use, and all
the important issues that the construction of a new
Lodge Log home encompasses. We work closely with our
clients to assure they receive the best information.
As we were building our new Lodge
Log home we had the opportunity to research all the
wonderful new products on the market. We visited
showrooms, websites, model homes and spoke to hundreds
of professionals in our quest to build a cutting edge,
cost-efficient log home. Our goal was to use products
that add value and comfort. We point to our radiant
heating system from RTI who designed a home environment
that is warm and quiet. Every winter since we've
lived here there are periods of bitter winter cold, but
it has been hard to tell in our snug log home which has
been heated very economically. We know the end
result for our finished Lodge Log home is a high
quality, low maintenance home to be enjoyed for many
years to come.
Every Lodge Log Home we
build has a personal story behind it and we feel as
though we are helping the owners fulfill their longtime
dream and tell their log home story at last. This profession is
very rewarding and gratifying, and that's why we are
pleased to be Lodge Log Homes of New England.
Here is our booth at the
