Most log home companies just sell you the package, they tell you they build the entire house, but they subcontract the builder who you could get on your own. Send me a private pm message if I can help you in anyway. It is a crazy experience.

As you can see by my "junior" membership, I am a rookie to the forum setting. By replying to the quote, did I send you a private message? If not, please provide instructions. We need to talk. Thanks so much. fullcircle

Ask them who they used to build their log home and what type of logs they used. I think a lot of people are considering a log home on this forum.

Click on a persons screen name and if they have enabled private messaging or email, you select it from the drop down list.
