The founder of COUNTRY ROAD LOG HOMES is Garland Faw. He was one of the
pioneers of the modern log home industry. In fact, much of what is being done by many in the
industry was first introduced by Mr. Faw. In 1977, Mr. Faw founded Lincoln Log Homes. It soon
became the largest log home network in the world. One of the most prestigious national magazines
devoted its full color cover and several full color pages hailing the invention of the
pre-constructed log wall in the January issue of Mechanics Illustrated in the year 1982.
Mr. Faw recognized several shortcomings in the log home…especially in the area of air infiltration
due to the shrinking of the logs after construction. He also recognized the damage done by seepage
of water between the logs. His crowning accomplishment was the invention of log technology that
allowed the homeowner to tighten the total log wall at any point of time after construction of the
house.
He was told by many in high places in the log home industry that such an option would be truly
wonderful but that it was an impossible dream. Well, Mr. Faw dreamed that impossible dream and
transformed it into reality. He was awarded a US utility patent. As you read on, you will be truly
amazed.
