Log home purchase question?

April 19th, 2008 | by admin |
exe40 asked:


Any special things to consider when looking at a log home? A conventional home is pretty straight forward but is there anything I need to know about a log home? Anything I would look for when considering purchasing an existing log home? It’s 25 years old, looks great but I’ve really no idea what to look for. If I decide to go for it I will have a home inspection but before that happens, any help or advice would be appreciated.
