This month we’re talking with Jacob Moss, Log Home General Contractor, from Moss Construction and Fred Roberts from Roberts and Associates, the go to for log home insurance. Both Jacob and Fred have been our boots on the ground in Texas, helping build the testing cubes for the IMTA. We visited with them about why they joined the IMTA, how it helps build up the log home community and reminisced a bit about our favorite memories from living in and building log homes.
