Rob,

Sure will be exiting to see this come to life!!!!!

There are a few types of homes that I'd love to have, and a log home is right near the top of that list. Unfortunately, I live in an area of high humidity and heavy rains. As a contractor, I've done a fair number of repairs to log homes built by a company called Satterwhite. They seem like good homes, but they are the D type milled logs with the flat tops, bottoms and inside. The outside is round and the corners overlap. The problem that I've seen the most is the logs are flat on to and will hold water. Over the years, the logs begin to rot and then other issues start to happen that lead to my being called in. Nobody has had a clue that water had been sitting on the tops of there logs for all those years.

This probably wont apply to you, but it's always good to keep in mind that log homes are not like stick built ones. Water never quits attacking exposed wood and usualy it's something silly that causes the most damage.
