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.

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.
