| Tennessee Log Homes provides Technical Assistance with every job, and it is included in the price
when you buy a complete Tennessee Traditions package. You may
attend a Training Seminar at the TLH Training Center or hire us to
provide on-site Technical Assistance. Our
representative works with your builders to assure that the logs go
up correctly. By the end of the day, your builders should understand
how to set the rest of the logs. Their questions concerning
subsequent phases of construction should be answered as well.
We will use our qualified dealer or an experienced log home builder
on our staff to provide the assistance. |

It
is vital that you get started right when constructing your Tennessee
Log Home. This is why we provide Technical
Assistance. Our representative will assist you in starting the
log wall construction, assist with inventorying your log home
package and discuss all phases of construction. You may hire
the representative for on-site assistance. However,
this should be scheduled well in advance.

should have your builder and crew ready for work. A good
working crew should have 5 men (a minimum of 3). Also, have
your electrician on site to insure that your electrical layout meets
local codes. Your electrician may have questions that our technician
will be able to answer.
