Chris Wood commented on Roland Sweet's blog post Out One Era and in the Other"Hey Roland, the small, simple and standard stuff is likely to be found in a vending machine some day, or at least easy to automate and sell on line. But custom, site designed solutions will always require a professional to keep inexperienced clients…"

One day, I’m convinced, you’ll be able to buy your log home online, probably from Amazon. I don’t begrudge them their success. I have an Amazon credit card for the reward points because I buy so much stuff from them. I wish they sold even more because I love free shipping. But they’re killing independent stores. I wouldn’t mind, except one of them is ours. That’s right. The Log Home Bookstore has gone out of business. I remember when I started at Log Home Living in 1988, the mail-order…See More

They are one of the greenest companies in America and can provide with everything you need to realize your dream. When you see prices vary as much…"
Tom P commented on Roland Sweet's blog post Wishfulfillment Thinking"I am trying to build a cedar log home in Maine. I own land with a view of the ocean. I am looking to not spend over $220K. My problem is knowing what what I really need as far as manufacturing style. I have two companies in Maine I have been…"

People who make their living selling log homes regularly inform me at log-home shows that they want customers who’re ready to build, not just wishful thinkers. But anyone wishing for a log home is ready to build it. They just haven’t cleared the hurdles to make it happen. The past four or five years, a lot of people have been postponing their dream. Now, instead of sitting on the sidelines they’re finally making their move. …See More

Journalism school taught me that you begin with the important news and put the stuff that matters least at the bottom. I was reminded of this lesson when I received this email from a log-home company: THIS ELECTION IS FINALLY OVER. AND, IT'S TIME FOR ALL OF US TO LIVE OUR LIVES AGAIN. THERE WAS SOME GOOD IN THE ELECTION FOR ALL OF US. If you were a fan of Mitt Romney: Your party will almost certainly win the White House in four short years. If you were a fan of President Obama, then you are…See More

The East Coast suffered a big blow from Superstorm Sandy, but it wasn’t an isolated weather disaster, just the latest. "We get a storm of the century every two years now,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo commented, Sandy left thousands homeless, prompting the need for new housing in its wake. If that means rebuilding devastated areas with the same flimsy houses popping up practically overnight in developments all over America and if Governor Cuomo is correct, then we’re looking at rebuilding every…See More
