A severe storm can cause far more damage than a few shingles or tree branches. High winds, hail, heavy rain, flooding, lightning and flying debris can impact numerous areas of a property at once. Some storm damage is visible. The minute you step outside you may see a shattered window, missing shingles or a fallen…
The first time you stand inside a finished log cabin, the walls do most of the talking. Timber everywhere, grain running in long horizontal lines, and a smell somewhere between fresh sawdust and last night’s fire. It is wonderful.

Whole-home renovations become expensive in a surprisingly ordinary way. It is rarely one dramatic decision that breaks the budget.
