Log Homes ... the mere words invoke feelings of comfort, warmth, happiness, simplicity, nature and family. These feelings are undeniably real. There is no home structure that exudes more ambiance of awe and tranquillity as a log home. This is what inspired Patrick Schutt of Schutt Log Homes to begin building these magnificent structures. This is where our hearts belong! Schutt Log Homes and Mill Works knows Log homes are back by popular demand. They are once again proving to be energy efficient as well as environmentally friendly. Natural log construction is on the “green” list, in part because it eliminates many of the toxic materials used in insulating traditional wood frame homes. Today’s log homes are both contemporary and traditional, with a style to suit every taste. No longer only simple log cabins or small vacation get-a-ways, Schutt Log Homes and Mill Works provides log home kits which can be large dwellings with every convenience. The natural insulating properties of solid Oak log walls is one aspect to be considered. A heating and cooling system in a log home can be up to 15 percent more energy efficient than the same system in a similar traditional wood frame home. Double or triple paned windows will add to the efficiency. Log walls are natural sound insulators also. Not only does the mass of the log prevent sound from passing through, but the log walls deflect sound by virtue of the texture created by their rippled contour. Yet another advantage is new tax laws that offer deductions or rebates for log homes. Check with a tax advisor to see how the laws apply. Patrick Schutt, President had the vision of building solid Oak log homes the "old fashioned way". "Woodworking is my passion." ... says Patrick. " I want to create something with my hands that I can be proud of and that will be standing long after I pass." And that is what he set out to do. In late 2004, Schutt Log Homes, LLC was under way. Schutt Log Homes purchased a 56 acre milling facility, a saw mill, and built two drying kilns in 2005. The rest, as they say, is history.
