Change of plans
Posted by dirttodone
After receiving advice from a Golden Eagle engineer, the family has changed their mind on using 10x10 full log construction. Based on the renderings and floor plans, the engineer recommended that the family use Golden Eagle's 10 inch split log system for construction. This will provide more structural strength for the exterior walls. This is especially important because of the large walls of windows the family has incorporated into the design. The family's sales consultant has assured the family that the home will still maintain the full-log look. Using split log construction also has a benefit beyond structural strength. The family now has the option of choosing the finish for all of the walls. For the exterior walls, the family can choose split log to look like full log construction or they can choose from drywall or tongue & groove pine. The family is now faced with a laundry list of options and decisions. Despite the misconception that a complete log package limits choices, Golden Eagle has provided the family with the opportunity to choose nearly every detail of their lakehouse from door knobs to countertops and window colors to stains.

Kitchen Designs
Posted by dirttodone
The family met with the Golden Eagle designer again. This time the focus was on the kitchen. It is an important room for the family as they plan to entertain at their lakehouse. They want enough room so large meals can easily be prepared in the kitchen. They want enough counterspace for multiple Nesco cookers.
And they are happy with the design they created with their designers. Below are three images of their kitchen.
 The designer's images have given the family a good feel for what their kitchen will look like once completed. The excitement is building for the family. They are anxious to move forward. The designer is going to send the family renderings of the exterior of the home based on the floor plans and other features the family has selected. Watch for those images later this week.

Design Consult Schedule
Posted by dirttodone
The family has made some floor plan decisions and are ready for the next steps. They want more than one master suite. They want two additional bedrooms. They want a large kitchen that can serve as a gathering space. Now they are ready to meet with a Golden Eagle designer. Their consultation is scheduled for Monday. During this consultation, the family will provide the designer with some rough sketches they have worked up. The designer will then work "magic" and create the floor plan. If all goes well, this will be the final floor plan. Otherwise, a second consultation will be scheduled for the family to work with the designer to create a new floor plan based on what is created Monday. Sketches from Monday's consultation will be posted by Tuesday morning.
