Expired. Year End Savings on your Material Package

Honest Abe's 

Year-End Sales Promotion Announced!

Deadline passed. No longer available.

See the details below!

True Savings Without the Risk

Summary of the Options

• $500 down, or

• $2,500 down

• 50% off on delivery charges when taken by April 15, 2014

• Certain restrictions apply

• Log home material packages

• Timber Frame home material packages

• Big Sky 10" round log home material packages

• Hybrid home material packages

• Stick built log {siding] home material packages

We've probably all seen competitors that offer free garages, half off roof systems, free window upgrades, and so forth. Did you realize that many of those competitors require a substantial deposit up-front to qualify for those incentives? Often, an estimated 10% down or more is required. A delivery date is then set and you MUST take delivery, or you forfeit your entire deposit. Ouch! That's not how we want to offset the cost of a promotion.

This year, we intend to help our customers find true savings without taking on so much risk!

Choose one of two options to get started:

$500 Purchase Agreement: Will lock-in the pricing structure through a delivery of June 30th, 2014.

OR 

 
$2,500 Purchase Agreement: Will lock-in the pricing structure through a delivery of February 27, 2015.

As always: a 50% deposit puts you at the top of the waiting list for floor plan drawings and delivery

Plus:

Get going quick. Take delivery by April 15th, 2014 and receive half-off on freight.

Note from Jack: The Delivery Date of your material package is usually within 45 days after your floor plans have been OKed by you.

Either Purchase Agreement level is refunded back toward the cost of the package on delivery. So, you cannot loose as long as you construct a home, and the risk very small. If you discover that you cannot build immediately, your deposit will remain in effect until you are ready to begin.

This Savings Promotion will be advertised widely to allow you to know there is an opportunity to freeze pricing into 2015, while that freight discount is available for those looking to get started soon. 

This announcement should allow you to decide which opportunity you might want to engage. Just give jack a shout so that we can nail things down for you. 800 767-4916

Sincerely,

Jack and Sally Hutslar

Until recently log homes have been considered good investments. They held their value and would appreciate nicely given the location, location, location. Declining home values, foreclosures and short sales have dampened that market. Learn more about your future log home or timber frame home as an investment or a get-a-way.

Please bring your questions.

News from Jack - Your Health and Your Log Home

Your Health and Your Log Home

















The Parade Sunday magazine presented Stay Healthy in the January 27, 2013 issue. It offers 10 health tips, four of which directly relate to log home ownership. For instance, they note that ...

#4 It is never too late to stop smoking, modify your diet and begin exercising, even if it is just walking. What could be more pleasant that to walk the land on which you built your log home. Relaxingly healthy.

#5 To feel younger, just open your window blinds. Well then, how about adding a nice window wall to your log home. See the photo above. Let the outside come pouring in. Windows like these can be built as a feature of your great room or on the gable end of nearly any log or timber frame home. 24/7 dark is not healthy. Sunlight is good.

#7 Be sociable. Did you know that many of our school age teens that find themselves in trouble are loners. They are isolates with few friends. My grandmother would have said that they spend too much time stewing in their own juices. Today, the great room in many log homes provide a combined living room, dining room, and kitchen. What better way to enjoy family and friends than to invite them over for game day or a BBQ. Bring a dish. How sociable is that!

#9 To motivate yourself to become physically active, get a dog. Dog owners tend to take their dogs for walks. Walking for as little as 15 minutes 3-4 times a week will make you a better person.

So, improve your physical self. Purchase your log home or timber frame home from Jack. Then adopt a pound puppy. It will make you a better person. Jack is awaiting your telephone call at 800 767-4916.
