Dry in of a log cabin home (Southland log home) defined

We are approaching the day when we can say that the model and the garage/office are "dried in." The term means that the home is at a point that nothing can get in from the outside. Dry in means that you can move things in - dry wall, bath tubs, fixtures, etc.

At Southland our kit comes ready to dry in the home and then some. There are 39 different types of materials that ship with the log kit. (Check out the What's Included page.) Here are some of the biggies: pressure treated sill plates, triple 2X10 rim joists, triple 2X10 girders with 2X2 PT ledgers. We provide all the material from the hard wood floor on the first floor to the interior 2X4 or 2X6 studded walls (2X6 walls are water walls) - including the 2X6 tongue and groove ceiling, the 5" insulation board, the roof sheathing, and the 30 weight roof felt paper. Our "Dry in" kit even includes the exterior doors and windows (HUGE!)

There is a lot more that goes in to a Southland Log Home kit. If you have questions click to email me Susan (office manager) or Jamie (sales) at the Charlotte sales office - 704-658-1501.
