This Log Home located in Buxton Victoria, has a
beautiful setting amongst tall Gum Trees.
This is the first Log Home to be put onto a 600mm
Stub Wall made with bricks which will later be Stone Clad, the
purpose of this Stub Wall
was the owners requested to build on a concrete
slab, and to get the Log walls above the ground level to reduce
splash from rain water to prevent any damage to the Log's
this was the solution
