Re: Log Homes...
I have done a lot of research about Log Homes and also went to a Log Home Show.
(IF) I do go log I think I want Cypress, which is mostly Heartwood or Ceder, requesting Heartwood. These are one of the most bug and mildew/rot resistant woods there are for homes. FYI solid logs be they round, d-cut or square cut have a VERY high R value.
Cost factor is about $120 to $150 sq ft (or higher) compared to Stick construction of about $100 sq ft.
The reason I asked is I want to learn more then is written above. Like everything in life when I talk to the manufactures they only give you their side so i'm looking for additional UNBIASED experience and expertise on the subject. I have attended seminars, purchased books, seen tv shows
AND
My mom lives a a 2 story 3100 sqft log home south of miami. I know a lot but want more info.
By the way "Limp Dicks" check this out...... :
