Title: Log House. Comin on up ! Post by: YELLOWBLACKMASK on August 28, 2013, 09:05:39 pm Well been putting this off for years but finally got cornered by the wife and wad placed in headlock.

Title: Re: Log House. Comin on up ! Post by: mod93dirt on August 29, 2013, 02:05:37 am Lookin good YBM!! I'm currently in the market for 5-10 acres and looking to build the same type of thing. Log cabin, wrap around porch, and interior finished out in knotty pine. Looking for it to be the last place I live in so I'm on a 5yr or more plan to get it done. Keep us updated with pics as the project comes along!!
Title: Re: Log House. Comin on up ! Post by: chads7376 on August 29, 2013, 07:47:31 am YBM, I live in a log home. Only thing I will tell is keep up with it. Ours sat empty for 9 years and had a few spots start rotting. It is two story and has "settled" so you feel like your walking down hill when you walk towards the outer walls when your upstairs. The outside walls that are the entire two story height are a bit crooked now. Not sure if this is due to the lack of maintenance or the fact the we live so close to the coast. It was straight and pretty when I looked at it in 1994. This one was built in 1985 and looks like the same type of logs you're using.

Title: Re: Log House. Comin on up ! Post by: Circle C on September 01, 2013, 07:35:22 am When you install the electrical, be sure ti put in a switch in the master bedroom that will turn on all of your outside lights and living room lights. You hear a noise, flip the switch and see what's going on without leaving the bedroom....
Title: Re: Log House. Comin on up ! Post by: YELLOWBLACKMASK on September 01, 2013, 11:03:08 am How much does building a loghouse usually run? All depends on your tastes. Overall comparable to any other type house. Title: Re: Log House. Comin on up ! Post by: YELLOWBLACKMASK on September 01, 2013, 01:01:29 pm Few of the latest.

What did that log kit cost ya? Title: Re: Log House. Comin on up ! Post by: YELLOWBLACKMASK on September 01, 2013, 05:42:01 pm Its lookin good myles. What did that log kit cost ya? Lol Charles I couldn't put together a linkin log set...let alone build a house. Haha Its a log home company from here that is building it for us. I could not deal with Saterwhite...to expensive and everything seems to be an extra upgrade. So at the end of their lecture a regular sized home would be twice the price of a conventional. These boys do a better job with the same type logs and Saterwhites premium package is standard with this crew. Gonna keep this house old school. Will be a story and a half with a suspended log cat walk dividing the top two rooms. Steep roof with no dormers like the old dog run houses used to appear. Title: Re: Log House. Comin on up !

How much is the contractor charging to build it, or a contact for them n i can call n see where they get the kits n how much. Title: Re: Log House. Comin on up ! Post by: YELLOWBLACKMASK on September 01, 2013, 08:55:50 pm O yea its gonna be a silver metal roof. Dont like all the fancy colors.
O and T bob .......dont mind her being barefoot....but no mo babies for this stallion. Workin on getting the kids out. Lol :laugh: Charles. They dont order it by kits. They have a partnership with a mill in Utah and the logs come out of northern Utah in Canada. They order the logs whole already D cut and then trim to fit onsite. Title: Re: Log House. Comin on up ! Post by: charles on September 01, 2013, 09:06:52 pm Ill do a google search n see what i can find. I know they sell or used to sell them 3 sided flat log kits but aint been lookin for them.

Title: Re: Re: Log House. Comin on up ! Post by: Fixitlouie on September 07, 2013, 09:16:29 pm I will say that a log house is like no other. Better for fire safety, sound proofing, energy efficient. Sikkens makes a great stain. Thats what i used when i worked on them. You will enjoy it. Congrats.

Title: Re: Log House. Comin on up ! Post by: Treezbulldogz on January 29, 2014, 05:49:43 am That thing is beautiful man! Anybody would be proud to call that home! Congrats!!
Title: Re: Log House. Comin on up ! Post by: catch1 on January 31, 2014, 10:38:56 am The wife and I have been wanting to build for about 10 yrs. Have preliminary plans made up several years ago. Anyway, looks like we may be able to start shortly. We like the cypress logs. What type wood are the logs in your new home and what was the factor that led you to pick that type? Your home looks really good. I like the way the carport is attached. We have been trying to figure out what we could do for the vehicles and that looks like a very good idea.
Title: Re: Log House. Comin on up ! Post by: YELLOWBLACKMASK on January 31, 2014, 11:21:57 am Yes they are Cypress logs. They came out of southern Canada and supposedly come dryer than the colorado logs. So far we really like it.
