My wife and I attended the show on Saturday after delaying from going Friday. I think we would have needed a canoe to get there on Friday due to the storm that hit. The show itself was much smaller then in the past but that was to be expected due to the economy. All the top builders were there and very friendly in their nicely laidout booths. They were all quite busy as might have been expected from the problems on Friday.

Gone are the days when the term log homes conjured up images of small, single-room houses built off the beaten track for those who wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Today,

LogHomeU.com will be undergoing some maintenance today at 4 pm Eastern for up to an hour. During that time period, the site will only display a maintenance page--all blogs, forums, and other content will be unavailable. LogHome.com will continue to function as usual. Thanks for your patience!

Well, where do we begin?

I guess we'll just say winter came. After a wonderful fall which we got a great start on things, winter came just a little too quick. Add to the mix a couple of bouts of pneumonia for both of us and a little OT at work dealing with the snow, and here we are in March. We did make a…

With the outlines of the lower bathroom finished, Mr. Seals has turned

his attention to the kitchen, which is being installed on the upper

level in a former bedroom. Gabriel cleared the room out and Mr. Seals

moved in with his wrecking bar. What he found was not pleasant. The

joists were fashioned from logs that had been roughly hewn, and of

different sizes, making for an uneven floor. What was worse was the

rotting wood along the edges used to support the… Continue
