When we built our home the ICF blocks weren't that available in our area, but since then we have built several homes using the ICF blocks and have had a great success rate. They are about 30% higher in cost than standard concrete foundations, but ...

If you have seen our profile page you know we built our log home after losing our home to a fire. We took some of the bricks from our old home and used them to line the wood box beside our fireplace. It adds a bit of character as well as memories....

Profile Information

Tell us about yourself:: On Jan. 2, 2005, we lost our home/business to a fire. We had built our home and only lived in it for 4 years, so it was a great blow. Everyone was safe and that's what mattered. We had always wanted a log home, but thought we would wait until our kids were grown. With this loss facing us we dicided "Why wait", let's do it now! So, that was the beginning of building our dream again!
One of the "Major" changes since we built our own log home is a change in employment, We were mostly a stick frame home builder and did some comercial building, but after building our log home we went strictly to building log homes, which we love.
Take a look at our Web Page at: www.sherwoodlogandcustomhomes.com

Are you lucky enough to be living in a log home?: Yes, we are blessed with a log home, and we help others build theirs!

What timeframe are you looking to start your dream home?: N/A
