Log Home Links.com - Log homes and Log Cabins Resources For Log Homes

Description

I’m sure some have wondered who and what is behind LogHomeLinks.com; is this just some marketing company out to make a buck on the internet or do they (actually it's just me) really know anything about log homes?

My name is Ron Gibson and I started working in the log home industry in 1986 as a log peeler for Montana Log Homes, a quality handcrafted log home company in Kalispell, Montana. My wife Lisa and I had relocated from southern Texas to get back to a more relaxed outdoor-oriented lifestyle, we really missed the mountains!

After peeling for several months I was able to train as a builder and learned to perfect my skills until eventually working my way up to crew boss. The skills I enjoyed the most were scribing and sawing arched doorways. I took a lot of pride in my work and enjoyed seeing a beautiful home develop out of a pile of logs. I had never been seriously injured in all the years I had worked there. That all changed in September 1996. While standing on a ¾" piece of plywood over a forklift, (we put the plywood over the forks as a platform to work from) the plywood gave way and I fell about 15 feet to the ground, narrowly missing a paralyzing injury. My back was fractured in six places along with several disk problems. It took about 4 years to recover after continually reinjuring it, and now I'm pretty much fine, I can pack about 40 pounds of elk meat so I'm not completely useless yet.
