i just had a thought though, what if you had one of these attached to the south side of the house, maybe 3 or 4 feet into the ground, and the "roof" of the greenhouse ended below your 1st floor windows.
would that be considered protecting your logs from rain even more, or would it make too much moisture near your logs?
or would the overhangs cut out too much sunlight anyway?
I had a similar idea for that. I'd attach a greenhouse to the south side of the log home, mostly sunk into the ground. Then circulate the air from the greenhouse into my house. Very cheap way to heat your home. I'm not sure about the moisture problems though.
It's not entirely clear from the picture I posted before but the roof is made of glass (or some other translucent material). So you should have no problems with losing sunlight.
