Ormiston’s Maine Cabin
Today the Ormiston’s dream of living in a Montana Log Home in Maine has taken a big step forward! After years of research, planning, designing and engineering their home, the first logs have been set! The cabin will be fully handcrafted in the log yard at Montana Log Homes in Kalispell, then disassembled, shipped to Maine and re-assembled. Follow along as these skilled craftsman carve each log to create Paul and Jacqueline’s one of a kind log home. We will update this post as the log package is being crafted, so check back occasionally to follow along!
