Moose Mountain Log Homes
Thank you for your interest in our Log Building Course. Moose Mountain Log Homes Inc. has been handcrafting log homes since 1978. The initial intent of our courses was to train future potential log craftsmen, that we could then offer employment to. Today an equal number of students have an interest in either building their own home or entering the industry in some other location, therefore our program has been catered to both approaches.
