What Was Your Log Home Building Experience Like? | eLoghomes

Mike and Lucy Porpora built their beautiful log home in Black Hawk, Colorado, with a kit from eLoghomes. In this video, the couple reflects on their experience building a log home.

In sharing their log home construction story, Mike Porpora explains why he’s glad the couple ultimately decided to use eLoghomes’ optional construction services to build the shell of the home. eLoghomes sent a team out from Tennessee to build the shell of the home—and brought extra logs and other parts in case any issues emerged during construction.

The construction team’s familiarity with eLoghomes’ log cabin kits helped the initial construction phase unfold efficiently. It’s all part of eLoghomes’ commitment to ensuring every project goes as smoothly as possible.

The Porporas’ log home sits at an elevation of over 9,000 feet. As Lucy Porpora explains, trucks don’t come up the mountain every day, and resources are scarce in town. Since there are no nearby fast food restaurants for quick and easy meals, the Porporas provided homemade meals every day for the construction team, who “became family while building the house.”
