Accommodating the new main level spaces with the existing rooflines proved challenging. The solution was found with an expansive shed roof to span the bulk of the addition and a large gable roof springing from the perpendicular to complete the canopy.
The original log construction was of a common, local vernacular, the Butt-and-pass method. In this style, logs from one wall alternately "butt into" the logs of a perpendicular wall which "pass by" to complete the corner.
Rather than a conventional foundation, concrete piers similar to the existing construction were utilized. Appropriately-sized logs were sourced and placed. Where porches remained, new, larger columns were introduced to replace the smaller, existing ones. The roof was conventionally-framed and all new 24 gauge standing-seam metal roof applied.
The remodel afforded some relocated spaces, new wood floors, all new paint, and remodeled bathrooms. Three feature walls finished in resawn Fir.
Kitchen cabinets were made of Black Walnut and the bathrooms and new laundry room were of Rustic Hickory.
