From a one room hunter's cabin to a lodge, we can help you build your dream. Many log suppliers have professional engineers on staff that will help with the design of your log structure or look threw the many plans that are offered by most log suppliers. Log prices will depend on size and style you want. There are many different styles. Logs are very versatile when it comes to building. Log structures will with stand the most sever weather found around the world, while keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. From the ground up we will get it done, excavating, roads, septic, drain fields, general site work and Power systems. Remember when planning your cabin, face it south if you can and take advantage of the free passive solar heat for those cold winter months and maximize your solar gain for panels on the roof.

Solar and Wind powers the majority of the cabins that we build in "off grid" locations. We design and install Alternative Energy Systems to provide power where and when you need it. Great strides have been made in the efficiency of Alternative Energy Systems in the last 10 years and our solar, wind, and hydro systems provide dependable power, at an economical price. From pumping water to a stock tank, lighting up that barn, back up for fire protection or running an entire house, many times it will cost less than running a power line from the grid and there's no monthly bills or fuel to burn.

Today you can power up your house adding solar and wind for about the same cost as a new Chevy pickup. If you plan on connecting to the grid you may be eligible for incentives from your local utility company or state, as well as state and fed tax rebates, that may off set up to 100% of the total cost of your system. Also check out SOLAR POWER ROCKS for more information on solar and incentives available to you.

While many people are having grid tie systems installed, we believe that the majority are making a big mistake by not adding batteries to there system for back up power. Most grid tie systems shut down when the utility power fails, in order not to feed power back in to the grid causing the utility workers to get shocked. Adding batteries will add about $2500 to the cost of your system. With our transmission network out dated and our generation pushed to the max, brown outs will become as common as $5.00 gas And with natural gas poised to double again before winter, its time to get prepared.

All of our installs are done by at least one state licensed and insured electrician.
