Building Your New Home with Golden Eagle Log Homes

admin — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 17:12:08 +0000

Here are some reasons why builders like Golden Eagle Log Homes. The plans are fully detailed so builders know exactly how the homes go together and what materials go where. But the main reason is the technical support; the people answering the questions and overseeing the plans have many years experience. Bob, a builder for over 35 years. Jim, a builder for 30 years. Glenn, a builder for 25 years and Andy, a builder for 10 years. Between them, there is not a question they haven’t heard or a problem they can’t solve. This is what makes Golden Eagle Log Homes special.

SketchUp 3D House Animation in Widescreen

admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 12:22:27 +0000

(Note: This version has the fixed audio and better color. See the ‘HD’ version for smoother playback and high resolution viewing)
This is a model of a house that I built (in real life) a number of years ago. I wanted to see if I could rebuild it with what plans, photos and memories that I still have.

I built the deck model years ago using Ray Dream Designer and Virtus Walkthrough (neither program is around anymore) to visualize what the deck would look like before I built it (in real life) as an addition to the house. I built the deck model to scale and it imported (.dxf) nicely into SketchUp after all these years. That was the starting point of this recent modeling project.

I did the time lapse sequence at the end to showcase SketchUps ability to set time and date for determining location of shadows. I also used its watermark (picture overlay) capability to see if I could line up the angle and lens settings of the camera snapshots that I had taken back in the day. I think it worked well.

Incidentally, I also composed and produced the accompanying soundtrack over an excellent beat by Zajo called “loop39.wav” from Freesound (http://www.freesound.org) used under a Creative Commons sampling license.

How to Stain a Log Home in 6 Easy Steps

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:47:06 +0000

Do I have to re-stain my log home every year?
No, not unless you use an inferior stain. Our warranty says we want you to recoat every 48 months. The new stains that the top stain manufacturers produce are so much better now that all you have to do is stain the new home and then apply a compatible topcoat. The topcoat is actually what is protecting the stain and is what you will use when it is time to recoat. Any time spent on outside maintenance will be SAVED on the inside because once the inside had been stained and sealed it is like furniture, good for life.
