I'm considering buying what appears to be a log home and I'd love critiques and questions. What should I be asking the real estate agent? What concerns do yall have about how it was built? I don't know much about log home building, so any information is welcome!
Here's the home:
a view of the inside
As you can see the logs it's built with seem to be fairly thin and I'm not even 100% clear whether every outside wall is made using logs (like what about those spots between those big windows?). But it says it's built with "frame & log." and the outside seems to have been recently chinked. I'm basically wondering what questions I should be asking. I've read about roof overhangs helping to preserve a log cabin--and since this has three stories and a...a roof that's not hipped...then I assume it's kind of failing on that measure. And probably would fail no matter what, just because of the three floors and roof design. What does that mean for the home? And how can I find out how it was built? Should I ask to find out who the builder was? And when I find them, what do I ask them?
Thanks!
