Ken,
I've looked at every option out there. I know I want most everything on a single level, a basement with interior stairwell and an exterior access/bilco door. I want a partial loft with a 3rd bedroom/full bath. Most of the main level needs to be a vaulted ceiling (open beam) I want a detached 2 to 2 1/2 car garage with a connecting breezeway. The roof needs to be a minimum of a 8 / 12 pitch . I want cypress or heartwood ceder or redwood.
I have some floor plans and have tried a couple of times to upload them to this thread but everyone here knows my limits with the computer soooo...
The big thing in log homes is the method of sealing between the log layers. Of course each manufauturer claims theirs is the best and only way to go.
I think i'm going to attend another log home show this year either in Atlanta, Tampa or Orlando and then in October when I visit my property visit other owners in that area as well as manufacturers and builders.
