Mike Goes commented on Mike Goes's blog post My experience..........."James, Thank You for your response. I attended a Log Home Show in Branson, Mo 2-3 years ago and talked with a Katahdin Cedar rep. at the show. What struck me was how he "belittled" the other manufactures. I left there thinking this is how…"

Mike Goes posted a blog postMy experience...........
I have been researching log home manufactures for 3 yrs now. I have boiled it down to 4 Log Home Council Members: Appalachian Log Home Structures, Gastineau Log Homes, Hochstetler Milling and Honest Abe Log Homes.I have visited all 4 and cannot put forth a bad word for any of them. They all have their "niche" that separate one from another thru there experience in the industry over the years.Customer service is at the top of the list at all of them for sure. All I can do is offer up a floor…See More
Mike Goes replied to Chet Broski's discussion Most durable exterior seal?"When I visited Hochstetler Milling the salesman brought me to the north side of the mill where they had a wall with different sections of wood nailed to it. Each section was stained with a different stain manufacture. All of the stain was applied at…"
Mike Goes replied to Lynn bean's discussion fireplace location"That's my plan, free standing wood-stove also. It seems to be just another piece of furniture that is natural to the setting in a log home. Something you may want to consider is a soapstone wood burner. Absolutely beautiful and do a great job!…"

Mike Goes commented on Whitney Richardson's blog post Home for the Holidays"The first paragraph says it ALL. Log Homes heighten that experience!"
Mike Goes commented on zac sloan's blog post Is this project worth taking on?"Pay for what the land is worth. The cabin has no value in my eyes. If it's going to be a place to live for a couple of years until you build a new place than make sure all support points are sound. That would hold you over long enough for the…"

Log Home corner profiles
My wife and I have decided on the "corner/log style" of our log home. We like the saddlenotch style because it starts with a full log all the way around the foundation instead of 2 full logs and 2 half logs to begin the initial course of logs. It's just a cleaner look in our eyes.

Is anyone aware of any other manufacture that offers…
