National EARTH DAY

Each year on April 22nd, National Earth Day campaigns around the globe promote ways to keep the Earth healthy and our planet livable.

Greener living can include more fuel-efficient vehicles or windows. It can also include landscaping for your climate reducing the amount of water required.

Today is NATIONAL EARTH DAY

Each year on April 22nd, National Earth Day campaigns around the globe promote ways to keep the Earth healthy and our planet livable.

At Cascade, we believe now, more than ever, that a log home is a responsible option when considering environmental sustainability. This is because a log building incorporating good design and maintenance will easily last for several generations, many homes are still in service 60 and more years after construction. This time span more than allows the forest to regenerate the materials harvested to create the original structure.

🐾Today is National Pet Day!🐾

National Pet Day on April 11th dedicates the day to those pets who may not always get the companionship and attention they deserve. While loving our pets is something we do every day, the observance encourages helping out orphaned pet companions. It will improve their health and enhance their opportunities for adoption.

It's #TimberTuesday!

Today we're going to talk about a "Log Scribe".

A Log Scribe is used to transfer the shape of one log to another. The craftsman draws the Log Scribe along the lower log, following the contours and transferring the profile to the upper log. The surface of the one log is thus copied to the other by parallel transfer. This method of building scribe-fit log walls has remained unchanged for centuries!
