Profile Information

Tell us about yourself:: Built our log home in 1992 and went to work for Appalachian Log Structures in 1994. Previous to that I worked for 3 airlines and one Tour Wholesaler so I've been lucky enough to travel the world. My wife and I enjoy country living and the peace that our log home brings to our busy lives.

Are you lucky enough to be living in a log home?: Yes! - for 16 years now - still lovin' it.
