The following pictures are taken of
a custom handcrafted log home that was built by Bullock &
Company, Master Craftsmen. Tim Bullock built this home out of
Northern White Pine, and this is an excellent example of a
variation from a famous design named Gideon's Cabin.
The original design was done with
log on the main floor and timberframe on the upper level, and all
4 gables were the same size. Marcia had Tim modify the design to
lower 2 of the gables to give a bit more symmetry, and it turned
into a wonderful design. She also enlarged the floor plan to a
40'x40' layout, where the original Gideon's Cabin was a 34'x34'
layout, as well as making some modifications to the location of
the kitchen.
The owner, being an artist, uses
the loft for her studio, and what a wonderful studio it is. It
gives the feeling of creating art from the top of the world, and
the floor plan is very open, with a light and airy feeling
inside.
From the moment I saw Isabella, I
knew that Tim Bullock was the craftsman that would build my log
home for me. My search has ended. After more than 2 years and
about a half ton of log home magazines, I've found a definite
craftsman to build a log home for me. I plan to use timberframe
for the upper level, as the original Gideon's Cabin was designed.
This home makes me ponder if all log isn't a good way to go
though, it is certainly a wonderful design. The massive logs
along with the 11' main floor walls make this home overwhelming
to just stand inside. Isabella, she's a true work of art!

The following pictures are taken of
a terrific restaurant close to where the home was built. Tim
Bullock is rumored to have taken up residence inside this
building for a good portion of the time he was re-assembling the
logwork. You can select to cook your own food over the coals for
a reduced rate! 'The Willo' rocks!
