Challenge

Heavy timber handling in a delicate structure

Log components are heavy and irregular — rebuilding without damaging the existing structure required specialized care.

Solution

Skilled timber craftsmanship and targeted waterproofing

Railing dismantled, rebuilt with glass infill panels. New membrane on garage deck, foundation repairs, and repaving completed.
