Episode 4 | Log Lodge in Montana | Amish Dream Homes 

Good job is an understatement, calling it a great job is nowhere near enough. This house is a masterpiece.

When he said “when I grow up I want to have a house like this” I felt that

I love the Amish. A culture of craftsmanship. So awesome how they build them on the lot so that when they get to the customers property they just slap them together like Legos.

The house is incredible and the interior decoration is the crowning glory.

The character of the builder speaks volumes. His work is a shadow of his tall character.

I love Ron's transition from white collar to mountain man by the end of the build. The mountains are calling and I must go.

Elvie your crew does an amazing job! I have always wanted a log home. I am getting tired of Washington State so one day I may have to talk to you about building us a log home! Thanks for the amazing video & content!

Hi, Elvie ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I enjoyed watching the build of this awesome huge log home, quality built construction 👍🏻 man I loved the great room with amazing beautiful views of the Montana mountains throughout the home with a wraparound deck so amazing. I loved the drone footage capturing all the amazing scenery !!! Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Blessed Sunday !!! Danny

I am 77 years old and was born and raised just North of Lancaster County, PA. After being away from my home place for over 50 years now, it was quite a culture shock to see where the Amish have gone with their beliefs and their usage of modern technology!! To say that the family who own and operate Meadowlark Log Homes have moved to the "liberal" side of Amish tradition is like saying that the Hoover Dam was built to catch rainfall in one place!! Their accomplishments so overshadow the Lancaster Amish I knew growing up that it boggles one's mind to try to imagine how they moved from point A to point B in such a short amount of time. From driving one horse black buggies with kerosene lamps to make them road safe to hauling huge logs on multi trailer transports is but one of the major changes I noticed in their traditional beliefs. I recall my older brother bringing his new wife back to PA from their home in IL, in the late 40's, to show her where HE grew up and trying to photograph a single Amish buggy coming down a country road one afternoon. That Amish man took a detour with his buggy immediately when he saw what Jim was trying to do! They didn't believe in those "worldly" things [such as photography] back in the day. If memory serves, they believed, much like many of the Native American tribes believed, that a photograph of them would take away part of their "soul". The video, in and of itself, will attest to the movements made in their beliefs since that time. As for the progressive Amish in the county back then, they drove motor vehicles. For example the cheapest model of Ford Mainline sedan with no chrome trim and black walled tires, and the entire car in black paint. The chrome bumpers and any other trim on those basic vehicles were painted black by the owner as soon as they got the car back to their farm! ....... My, how times have changed .......

Elvie have to say it is amazing thumbs up friend

Only work can make people become happy, he became cheerful, harmonious, contented heart.

My Dream Home ever since I was little. Maybe some day. Congratulations to you folks. The builders done an amazing job!!

I love these quality homes they are beautiful! Dream come true lucky families

What a talented team! A Great Family man and person too. You have a real gift. Can I get one in Greece? I retired after 26 years in the Navy and I know about leadership and teamwork. It really shows through. Keep it up! God Bless you, you BIG family and wonderful team!

Big hint before you build your dream log house,make sure the logs will be from dead standing logs or dried down to at least to about 10 % at the final stack to avoid most of the shrinkage that will accrue after the house is finished and heating of the interior. If not , you will have a heap of problems. Also plan for 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick elastic chinking with foam backing at all log joints . The foam backing is a bond breaker which allows for more elasticity of the chinking to allow for the settling and movement of the logs which all log buildings do . Also make sure that chinking is applied between the interior log purlins and the roof ceiling to prevent heat loss, especially if they are installing anything other than expandable foam in the roof. Been working on these log projects since 1977 in four western states including Montana . I could go on , but if you follow the above, you’ll have a valuable log house for years to come with a lot less headache .

Just astonishingly beautiful.

That is my dream home. Great job guys!!! 😍💜👍🏽👏🏽

What dream come true. Looks fantastic. Great job

That was beautiful

I live in Canada, Edmonton Alberta, and I have watched many of the beautiful Amish built homes, they are sooooo beautiful

When is the next episode coming out? I love this. I love watching you guys building these beautiful homes.

Hi to everyone !!! Let me tell you Sir, you are a good man, a good Daddy, and a good person ; so God bless you and all your family too, you are working good job and all your people on you too, you have nice family, and nice people working with you...so God Bless you and all your family too....Thank you so much for all you do....

a great example of how all us Christians should be, humble, meek, peaceful. So glad i came upon this show. No one's perfect but I admire the Amish (whether orthodox or not).

The builders do a magnificent job. But I became a little disheartened, he is such a gracious host and gentleman he doesn’t give himself or his crew enough credit for their accomplishments. The decorator is very good at what she does but without the superb construction of that masterpiece the books ,covers, and other decorative items would have no place to nestle their heads and call home. I’m so happy they knew it was unsafe to work in such inclement weather. Great job all of you.

A dream come true for you both, i hope you enjoy it and live long, what a beautiful place.I'd be lying if a told you I'm not jellous. Dave from the UK

Nice work everyone...many dream you make it happen for many.

It has to be Amish work wow wow wow....never see anything like it. CONGRATULATIONS MAN

Just Beautiful,,,,,,,Great Job Love it.

Wow wow so beautiful house. 😍 🤩🤩👍

Watching this series has me looking at plots of land and thinking about getting one of these built! Man, this is great!

excellent job, Elvie !!!

I enjoy watching your videos, thanks.

What a wonderful place to live. Along with a beautiful property to go with it. I love the mountains

I love your channel...please don't stop making videos 😊✌💕

WOW ! ! That garage is amazing just what I need for my Forestry work and free range hens. :)

I love Ron and his wife, they picked my favorite design and made it even better with their custom modification. It would be great to talk to them and learn from their experience with their beautiful home and the land they purchased. I can see myself doing something like them. They seem like people who did a lot of research just like me. Ron if your out there and ever read this I hope you wouldn't mind spending a few minutes talk with me.

Watching from a small island in the North Sea (Shetland) 🇬🇧 what a beautiful home.. and to see it all come together, fantastic.

It’s fantastic.!

i like this design..very perfect and strong structures. interior very simple and biewtiful out site view.

Beautiful log cabin! I don't even dare think about how much it must have cost, haha! 🙂

My Sister lives in Deer Lodge , Montana. she has always wanted a log house. Nice to see your build.

Only 1 thing missing. The outdoor hot tub. Their's nothing better than sitting in a hot tub and the snow is coming down. Awesome. :)

Amazingly beautiful log house and beautiful view W O W

Imagine owning a place like this, just woah
