Paul Dillaway, your Carroll County, NH
WE LOVE OUR WARD CEDAR LOG HOME
Thank you for visiting our page. My partner Debbie and I absolutely love our Ward home nestled in the foothills of the White Mountains of NH. Our home and floor plan can be viewed under the “Personalized Homes” section of the company web site. We, like the clear majority of Ward customers, designed our own home. With lots of compromises, even competing miniature model homes that we each built and, with outside input, we managed to complete the process. Oh, and do we have stories!
We would certainly enjoy sharing our experiences, knowledge gained as well as successes and failures with you to assist you in any way possible in creating your dream home. We invite you and would most welcome you to visit with us at our home in Madison, NH. Our home is a log sided home (hybrid) which some visitors find difficult to believe as it looks so much like what they would expect to see in a traditional stacked log home. We incorporated many energy efficient design features including a geo thermal heating system which resulted in our home earning a Five Star Plus energy efficiency rating. Yes, log homes can be energy efficient!
I would like to share with you just a brief bit of personal information as a further way of introduction. I am a retired school teacher and retired real estate agent. I should probably add that I am a do-it-yourselfer and after help with getting a weather tight shell did almost all the remaining carpentry. I would be very willing and would most enjoy sharing any tips and lessons that I learned along the way.
Once again, thank you for visiting and we would love to hear from you.

Made from Northern White Cedar
Cedar is considered one of the world's most highly prized wood species. With natural oils called thujaplicins found in its heartwood, cedar is highly resistant to insects, decay, mold and mildew, making harsh chemical treatments unnecessary.
Northern White Cedar grows in abundance in the great north woods of Maine, in the heart of which is Houlton, home to our 35-acre manufacturing facility. Our round wood procurement practices and stringent specifications allow Ward to offer a higher grade of log than most other manufacturers. Northern White Cedar offers the best insulation value per inch, is naturally air-dried for lasting stability and strength, has reliable great looks with a natural light honey color, a fine grain and a smooth sheen, and it is easy to maintain.
