Very true. Location also plays a role. We live over an hour from our property and are in a very low populated area with no cities nearby. I've scored some good deals, but they are hard to find and I...

With the thermal mass of a log house, I'd greatly lean towards having a wood stove or furnace. It'll give warmer/stronger heat for warming the whole house. With a wood stove vs fireplace insert, the...

We bought this one last year for $299, on sale. It was on sale a month or two ago for that price...
Will pack up our crew and come for a visit! Pam, your house is spectacular!!

Hi Shannon,
I've noticed your posts before with talking about needing such a large house. Answer these questions for yourself, not us.
What is more important?

May everything go smoothly with no major headaches. :)
Hi Cameron,
Although this is the design you want now, you may wind up with some changes by the time you're done. One of the books I like is Building an Affordable House. It may not be for...
Amazon sellers have been out for some time - or at least they were all sold out the past times I've looked. I didn't realize that Upper Access is a publisher. Ordered one from them also. Thank you...
I've been looking for this book for sometime also. I'll call Upper Access on Monday to see if they have more than one copy. Does anyone have one available?
Just waiting for another class to open up! Hopefully it won't be too long. :)

I know log would have the asthetics and structual integrity, but how about frame vs log for cost of building either one yourself? With all other factors being equal...
By the time you see signs on the tree it is beyond saving. I was concerned about some land we recently bought here in Montana. We decided the location and price were right anyway. When talking to...
For all who've been "patiently" waiting and any who may have missed this. :)

Hi Andrew,
I haven't taken the class yet either. From the FAQ http://www.loghomebuilders.org/faq
There is another FAQ on that link about how much time to build. This can really vary, but it...
Hi Jim,
The review from someone who's installed several of these and has had problems with longterm duribility concerns me. Several people seem to like these, but I suppose it depends highly on...
