Edgewood purchases Kermit Log Works
Edgewood Log Structures' plans to acquire assets from Kermit Log Works, a log-siding specialist in Delta, Colo., were completed earlier this month. The acquisition comes in response to high consumer demand in Edgewood's handcrafted log division.
Edgewood expects to relocate Kermit Log Works' equipment and employees to their yard north of Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, in October of this year. The acquisition will allow Edgewood to provide its log-home clients and the local building industry with highly specialized log siding.
An increase in demand for Edgewood's oversized, handcrafted log siding prompted the acquisition. "Kermit Log Works' expert siding operation allows us to provide a finished product faster and more efficiently," said Brian Schafer, Edgewood president. "The acquisition is a necessary step to increase production and handle demand."
Edgewood Log Structures has been in business 21 years and is perhaps best known for its "Glass Forest" designs and its engineered pre-compressed, log-wall building process.

by Design- Log Home Living, September 2006
So, you want to live far
from the maddening crowd? Extreme home settings are hotter
than ever, but they involve careful planning. Whether you

connected to public utility lines) or simply in a remote location
with extreme weather, there are some considerations you should
keep in mind. Log Home Living asks Brian Schafer-Vinson, president
of Edgewood Log Structures to help them teach their readers
how to make the right choices when planning to build in a
remote location.

when Sheila found herself living in "flat, hot"
Fresno, California in the early 1990s. "As soon as we
moved there," she says, "I started looking for an
escape route to the mountains."
