OUR LITTLE CABIN IN COLORADO

-

 The First Cabin Home to Use Pioneer Log Siding.

This was our cabin-home in Breckenridge, Colorado that launched our fantastic idea for Pioneer Log Siding! However, we can still remember the stressful, grueling; on-going months it took to finish and mostly because, our "contractor" ran off with our funds before completing his job. So, we quickly learned, "Building your own Cabin 101," and finished it ourselves. I must say, working at 11,500 feet and trying to catch your breath with every step can be a bit daunting but, we did it! These are photos of our cabin home before we finished the Chinking and Landscaping.

This must be one of those times that a devil is replaced by an angel, and transformation occurs! I have had a similar situation getting ripped off and having a most important project destroyed, but it ultimately led to me (being forced) to do something completely different, which took my life in a whole 'nother direction! I ended up spending the best five years of my life living in Paris, France, and it was a dream come true. How a bad thing could turn into such a good thing is beyond me. It's *almost* as if I should thank those devils that drove me to that other path, but I can't go quite that far.

But it does kind of confirm that notion about "clouds with silver lining" and I'm glad that the crooked contractor put you in the situation he did, as now we can all benefit from Pioneer Cabin Siding! I have never seen anything come close to something I would be willing to use, until I saw your website. Now, it's just a matter of saving up the funds. I can't wait to get started!

Gracias mi amigo for such fine products and such an interesting website. I have spent a number of most enjoyable hours reading through everything and it's a fine job you are doing. "Excellente."

STAINING AS AN ART.

A TWO STEP LABORIOUS PROCESS BY HAND This labor-intensive job covers all widths of Pioneer Log Siding, Window & Door Trim, House Corners and Beams on both sides and edges. Interior only requires one side and edges. During our process of hand hewing, distressing and sanding each board differently, we Age-Stain by hand as we go, down across sawhorses, one board at a time, ready to install when it reaches your site. We never spray stain to avoid the artificial appearance it leaves. Age Staining is only the jump-start to begin the natural gray-aging process of your Pioneer Log Siding boards. Unlike round logs, needing constant attention, Pioneer Log Siding needs no attention and looks even more authentic over the years. One day, if you do decide to stain again, please use a water based transparent stain of the same brand and tone so you do not cover up the aged pioneer look we’ve created. But then again, why would you want to stain again, its pioneer. Pioneer Log Siding is...

CALCULATE HOW MUCH SIDING

How Much Siding will I Need? Should I use the same size board widths or mix them up? Well, for the more prosperous Pioneer Up-Town look you may wish to install all Large 12" boards with 2.5" - 3" chinking spaces. But, if it's the rugged Pioneer Woodsman look you're after you could go random with your boards such as, 12"- 8' - 10" mixed, using anysize chinking spaces you desire. Just remember to keep your siding rolls as horizontal as possible. With Pioneer Log Siding it's hard not to look Historic. “However If you want a precise figure on how much siding you'll need, let your Architect, Builder or Contractor decide on how much you’ll need and place your order”.
