    Hey, all!

    Just want to say Happy New Year, and wish everyone the best.

    May many log home dreams come true, or at least closer to reality, and everyone work safely!

    Hi, George--

    Like panderson, I don't have any specific experience or wisdom to contribute, but I agree it could be really amazing.

    For re-sale, I would think that it could be a drawback,...

    Hey, there, Sara--

    Hi, Ed--

    Whether or not to stay and defend your home is always a tricky decision which has to be made with care and realism, and staying is never without risk. Sorry to hear about your friend who...

    We were looking at a kit home when we found LHBA, too. We're SO glad that we didn't get a kit. We like our house much better, both aesthetically and functionally; and living in an...

    Vegas isn't much crazier than Cape Cod in August, though the lights are brighter. :D

    John,

    As Rod said, visiting Skip's house was a real experience, both because of the actual structure, and the whole "package" of house, furnishings, and Skip himself. Like Rod, Jeff and I feel...

    Cruiser's right. Logs shouldn't be a big problem. I doubt you'd have to truck logs in too far for a Kentucky property, but even if you DID have to bring logs a long way, it's still...
