Perfection is a process. You can always make it better.

Breathing art into logs that become homes

Oregon: As a young ski instructor on Mount Hood, Mike Neary built his first log home for himself. When friends and family all bragged on it and wanted a log home too, he knew he had stumbled on to his life's work.

Today his company, Oregon Log Homes, builds the most beautiful log homes in the world. The National Home Builders Association gave it "The Best In American Living" award and that won the attention of Disney. Oregon Log Home was given the opportunity to build the Fort Wilderness Lodge in Orlando.

While much of the work is done by hand, Mike invented a way to automate some of the process which keeps the company competitive while still thoroughly unique.

These are some of the things that we learned from Mike:

"Perfection is art that comes alive within a relational event." - BEC
