Default Re: Log Homes...

They're cool houses! I'd love to have a log home. Though even the most earthy folks I know who have land with their own trees cut the logs in half and do a system with insulation between the inner and outer logs. They say the R-value of the logs isn't quite good enough. I think I read the R-value was 7 for some log homes. There is a plethora of information on the web. Check out custom cutters (some based in VT and other areas) for whole log homes, and the commercial prefabs which are DIY setups. Post and Beam homes are another of my favorites.
