Logs Used as Building Material in Kingsville Log House
A log house built in Kingsville Ontario uses long red drain tile logs forming walls for insulation and space. Charles Miner located the dwelling and described tile log ends sealed with cement to keep birds out while the structure rests on concrete blocks. The wooden frame is sheathed with boards and tile logs veneer the sides, with cross ends overlipped. The cost reportedly sits between moderate and conventional wood or brick homes.
