I'm sorry but I'm a bit upset and I have to share it. It bothers me when so many people join a group such as ours and then simply wait for someone else to make comments, either in a blog or with one another. BUT when the founders of the concept and the website don't respond to simple questions, well that is unforgivable. I won't go into specifics but I think you know who you are. There, I feel better already. Ted

I think when I joined our group I was number 134 or close to it. Being that there were so few of us it was not surprising that very few were lucky enough to own a log home.

I don't know about the rest of the members from Florida but for my part I'm tired of a year that seems to be made up of endless hot and humi… Continue

I read at a lot of real estate ads for property, land, acreage ... what ever you want to call it. But what I really love is the descriptive language. "Don't miss this lovely parcel with it's picturesque rolling ...". Rolling, rolling, how about a 60 degree slope. I've looked at some of these great buys and I have to tell you, you better not have a fear of high places. But I think one of my favorite selling lines is, "Great view with a little tree trimming". Watch out for this one, you can chop d… Continue

I was just thinking about the number of log home manufacturers that LogHome.com mentioned in their web site. It think it was somewhere in the range of 650. So what does that mean to those of us who are trying to choose that one perfect manufacturer who will build that perfect log home for us? Well, I don't know about you but I think that I investigated about half of the 650 in my own search. I found that most seemed reliable, most offered the three usual options ( buy only the logs, buy a dri-i… Continue
