Setting a Blue Ridge Log Cabin with a Crane

The couple that surveyed for our foundation are currently building a Blue Ridge Log Cabin. She gave me some photos of the process to share.

We considered Blue Ridge Log Cabins and I went to their offices and toured. This cabin comes in two main sections. The roof is folded up to transport.

Once the two sections of the log cabin are put together, the roof is unfolded.

The cabin is set up with a crane. The gable ends are put into place and the cabin is completed on your building site.

I the first photos I thought this was some kind of crane trailer, but it’s not. That really wouldn’t work.

It’s just a trailer. See how the roof sections are hinged? They finish unfolding them on site.

The crane lifts the last sections of the house into place to be completed on their site.

They finish the shingles on the top of the roof. You can see how this is two log sections. Blue Ridge Log Cabins are made with real logs in modules that are 12’9” wide.

They make cabins with one, two, three or more modules in their warehouse factory right off I-26 in South Carolina near the North Carolina state line. The module sections are transported to your building site and assembled with a crane.

The house is nearly completed. They have to come back to finish some trim. They leave the stain for you to finish that yourself.

So here it is! The cabin on top of the mountain. Dream house!

It looks exactly like the Carolina I  cabin on Blue Ridge Log Cabin’s website.

They chose the cabin at a log cabin show, probably the Asheville Log Home & Timber Frame Show that was at the Ag Center last year.

She promised me some more photos when they get if finished.
