They would reply to my emails within that day regardless of being in different time zones. The glass facade is way better in person than in pictures, and I thought it looked impressive in pictures, to begin with. The house was really fun to build and we had the chance to customize it to our needs, something which in Australia would normally cost an excessive amount. Throughout this time there were some big storms as well as some hot high temperatures, and once it came time to build the Avrame all the building material was still immaculate. I brought an Avrame trio 120 and the building material had to sit in a container for a year as I had to adjust for some council regulations. Personally, I cannot recommend the Avrame Trio enough. The rest was all us (typically one person working on the house 5 days a week because the other would have to be with our young children)! This opportunity was exactly what we needed in order to be able to achieve our goals of having an off-grid homestead and a place for our children to grow up away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We hired out solar, plumbing, electrical and HVAC and a few days of work with a buddy here and there. We expect that by the time we move in, in a few months, it will have taken us exactly a year and a half to build without a crew.
We got our delivery right on time and began building at the beginning of 2022. The kit surpassed our expectations in price and quality and it was significantly easier for us to work with as a 1-2 person team with little to no formal construction experience (except a basement and bathroom reno).

solar addition with yellow pine arches was added with a sloping glass wall to the south.We purchased a Trio120 kit home from Avrame in 2021 because lumber and steel were quite expensive and windows were impossible to find. office wing was added, and in 1989, a 240 sq. gambrel style log home, based on Real Log Homes “Plymouth,” on a site overlooking some of the most beautiful drumlins of the Finger Lakes. In Russia, I visited homesteads housing both the family and the livestock under one roof built in the 1700’s. In Finland, I saw log structures dating back to the 1200’s and the Viking era. I visited Switzerland’s Ballenberg Outdoor Museum several times houses 70 log homes from all over the country that date back to the late 1400s. Forethought during design and proper ongoing maintenance will ensure the longevity of the structure. I learned what works, and definitely what does not work, when crafting a log home. The sales and design came naturally as my passion grew in the industry. At Cornell, I enjoyed the engineering courses. I have a dairy and apple farming background so we were always building something. I was enchanted with the visual character, strength, and process of assembling the pre-cut package. My interest in log homes started in 1971 when I visited a Real Log Home Model south of Ithaca, NY.
