Advice needed..... desperately

[Ellsworth]

Well my mother is interested in a log home, however she wants a log home kit. She's convinced that it will be faster, than building one ourselves. I am not convinced of this, myself. What I'm asking for is ALL the advice you good people could provide me.
Thanks

Question 1. Is there a site I could go to, to look up log prices?

Question 2. Approximately how much would it cost to build a 1500- 2000 sq ft two story log home?
(just looking for a ballpark estimate)

Question 3. How much less would it cost to built it a single story?

Question 4. Approximately how long would it take to build a 1500-2000 sq ft one or two story log home?
( again, just looking for a ballpark estimate)

Question 5. Is there any useful information you can think of, that I've not asked for?

I do not think it's a stretch to say that tommygun's situation would be ideal for the "Nuclear Family + 2 Friends" free forum access concept.

He'd buy a membership, his mother could read everything and post in that Nuclear Family section.
