During the past year Al Anderson, and his son Nick Anderson worked on two very special projects.  Both were log homes build of  large dry Spruce logs. The Montana School of Log building includes owner/builders in the process.  Both projects brought friends and families to the site to restack the home and save money.  Owner/builders often finish the carpentry when the log shell is stacked.  Owner/builders determine the level of support they need throughout the project.
