It rains and then the sun comes out. It rains some more, and more .... and more. Doesnt worry this size timber and builders passionate about creating beautiful structures from it. As we expose log end tenons to show the beautiful Douglas Fir woodgrain, the midflloor takes shape.
Log Homes - May 2010 NEWS:
Its quite a journey when you're follow your passion. Logically, rationally, entering the home building industry is fraught with difficulty, in the best of times.
Drawknife peeling 50 ton of Douglas Fir may look & seem labour intensive. However exercise never hurt anyone, many hands make light work and the joy one feels becomes not so strangely addictive.
Its not lost on us that in bringing large whole natural logs back to Tehuia turns the early New Zealand European history wheel full circle. Logging in this part of the world was the first industry we latecomers operated.
Milling the sawlogs releases the clean lines for rafters and joists. Not to mention the fantastic smells of fresh cut Douglas Fir.
Log Homes - April 2010 NEWS:
We have begun building our first Twin Peaks Log & Beam home at our Tehuia property Waitakere West Auckland.Register with us if you would like to be kept informed about its progress or come and see it during the building.
Land - April 2010 NEWS:
Last year we released and sold 5 x 1 acre properties on our estate. After much thought we now are releasing one more acre. This acre has an absolutely beautiful building site with magnificent sea views of Huia bay, Manukau harbour and headlands opening to the Tasman Sea. It has beautiful big Kauri trees and is 95% grass for organic growing/permaculture or just leave it and enjoy the views.
