As this Monroe, Wa log home was originally constructed upon distantly spaced piers, the log walls and floor were sagging midspan and the home was experiencing uneven settling. As well, the log walls were too low to the ground and were in serious danger of rotting as they were practically buried in the dirt.

This family cabin suddenly started to experience some soil shifting on the back half of the home, much to the dismay of the owners. The cabin had been in the family for decades and had seen children grow into adults with their own children. In fact, the place was still very much in use and continuing to witness many new memories. Still, significant structural implications were being felt and it was believed that if action wasn't taken that the structure's integrity would continue to decline.

Protection from exposure to the elements is paramount to the longevity of log structures. A key area that tends to suffer damage is a high gable wall with a prow roof (a roofline whose overhang slants back to the wall corners). Not only is a large amount of wall area directly exposed to wetting during rainfall but the prow edge is often ineffective against deterring roof water runoff from falling and splattering directly below to a deck or patio and back onto the log surfaces.

After experiencing some concern about the protection of their home's logs, these Lake Cavanaugh residents contacted Creasey Log Homes to provide a solution. As there was an existing wood balcony, the work order consisted first of all of providing a waterproof walking surface on the balcony to act as a protective roof for the logwork below. This required, in part, to provide a slope to the surface to effectively drain water to the outer edge of the balcony away from the home.

 High gabled walls can pose a weathering problem for Northwest log homes. If excessive, the ratio of roof overhang-to-wall height can be easily overcome by the slightest angle in falling rain. Many homes were originally built and designed without this in mind.

When winds came through and fell a tree from their property onto the roof of their home these Monroe homeowner's came to Creasey Log Homes for the repairs. In the process, several skylights were added to flood natural light into the kitchen area. Damaged framing members were replaced and an all new Presidential roof applied.

When this quaint retreat was seriously damaged in a wind storm the family contacted Creasey Log Homes for their expertise in repairs. Little did they know at that time that "repair" to Terry means an opportunity to breathe life into a structure not previously seen in the first place.

The South side of the Silverdale Boy Scout Hall was experiencing the effects of long-term weathering in the form of rot.  The lower log courses of the Southeast corner suffered irreparable damage and had to be replaced in their entirety.  This required removal of those logs between fireplace and the corner and installation of new logs crafted to fit.

Born of FDR's famous Works Progress Administration and originally named Camp Major Hopkins, Camp Yeomalt is arguably one of Bainbridge Island's most historically significant structures.  In fact, the mid-thirties construct is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.  Used by the Boy Scouts of America for decades, the Bainbridge Island Parks Department purchased the camp in 1987.  Years finally caught up with the lodge and the board developed plans to restore the dilapidated structure. Creasey Log Homes was contracted for the log renovation portion of work.
