Building Green with Honest Abe Log Homes

.
Honest Abe was "green" before Green was in vogue

Recently an industry newsletter included an article about another log home company that installed a saw dust burning dry kiln system in 1996 and since that time have saved over 1 million gallons of fuel oil. That's Great for our environment (but not so good for that companies middle eastern dealer manager).

Honest Abe has been using a saw dust burning dry kiln system for almost 20 years - 1987. Here are some other factors that make an Honest Abe Log Home Package "Green":

1) Pre-cut log wall system and other pre-cut items in the package that generate "green points".

2) No wood items sent to the land fill.

3) Logs not meeting the "Log Wall 40" standard can be re-sawn and used for other products. That is, 4x4's to stack materials on, porch spindles, roof blocking, etc. Nothing is wasted.

4) Wood items considered waste that cannot be used in the log package are sold to our sister company, Barky Beaver. They use it for animal bedding, mulch and other applications.

5) Honest Abe even uses an energy efficient golf cart to make daily rounds throughout the plant!

Our log homes are manufactured from a renewable resource. That means our homes were green before "green" was important. In fact, when you look at the energy savings that are inherent in our log homes and timber frame homes, it does not get any greener.
