The saddlenotch corner partners with Swedish Cope log. |
 |
| Gambrel Roof Design |
|
|
The garage of this home is constructed in a gambrel style. Construction materials are bundled and laid out in an organized fashion for efficient use of the builder’s time. |
 |
| Framing Cross Section |
|
|
Taken from atop the home’s first floor, there is a clear view of the gambrel roof framing for the garage. |
 |
| Go Conventional |
|
|
Conventional stick-framing was the construction method of choice on the garage and second floor of this home. With log siding on the home’s exterior, there is no way of knowing from the outside, that this was not created in full log construction. Hilltop offers packages in full log, conventional stick-built and structural insulated panel construction. The stick-built and insulated panel choices offer increased flexibility for exterior and interior finish materials. |
 |
| Matching Roof Lines |
|
|
The home’s roof will be constructed soon. The gambrel style on the garage will be matched on the home. |
 |
| Bear the Load |
|
|
A Douglas Fir post is notched to accept the carrying timbers, supporting the weight of the second floor joist system. |
 |
| Gambrel Entry |
|
|
The entry door is covered with a gambrel roof style to match the main roof system. An architectural truss is added for visual effect. The round support posts match the home’s Swedish Cope styling. |
 |
| Extra Space |
|
|
This home owner found added living space by adding a walk-out basement, two shed dormers and a covered porch while maintaining the overall footprint of the home to control costs. |
