Today’s log homes come in various sizes, shapes and styles, At the core of any log home is the log system itself. The log system consists of the logs themselves, the sealants and fasteners required to build a water resistant structure. All of this is very important when thinking about building a log cabin in order to meet requirements for efficiency, appearance and maintenance. Log home living is a dream pursued by many, each year more people are bringing their dream of log home living to life. The pull of something more natural and scenic is alluring people to the dream of building and living in their own log cabin. The expanse of logs and the natural environment gives us the feeling of times gone past and of rugged heritage. The expanse of wood and the old fashioned feeling makes it seem like a page out of a history book.

Years ago log homes were tiny, owner built cabins in forest clearings. Times have changes somewhat today, the log homes industry started out as a source for inexpensive second homes. Weekend retreats at the lake or in the mountains. This led on to the trend and fashion of actually living in a log cabin all year round. Today most log homes are built for full time occupancy and have gotten larger and more sophisticated; this in turn has made building a log cabin a little more complicated. Building a log home now should not be done in order to build a cheap home, years ago a small dwelling in the woods would have consisted of a small owner built cabin but today our tastes have changed and we want our log cabins to be sophisticated and glamorous, all this is fine as long as you realise that building a log cabin is not necessarily a cheaper option. A log cabin is snug against the weather and heated by an efficient log burning stove, in theory log homes aren’t very good at maintaining heat as wood in general is not a good insulator but just as the bumblebee shouldn’t fly, log built homes do keep in the heat and do so very well. It took the government a long time and vigorous testing of log homes to finally accept that log homes actually are more energy efficient than once thought. The reasoning was put down to the mass of wood, the mass of logs help to absorb, store and release heat over a period of time. There are other factors that have to be considered, such as the position of the house and someone building a north facing, heavily glassed living room is not going to make the most of an energy efficient log built house. When building a log home the key is to keep them as small as possible in order to benefit truly from energy saving and running amok and building a large log mansion with expanses of glass will just defeat the object entirely.

The most favourable way for people to build and construct their own log home is still to purchase one that comes in a kit form. Not only will you be making sure you make the most of saving energy but it allows people with limited construction abilities to undertake projects beyond their abilities. Kits will also ensure that you will not have to waste time figuring out materials ( a big money waster) and figuring out construction methods. When looking for a reputable company in which to purchase a log home kit, remember that you will be living in a home and not a kit, a log home kit is just the materials, the first rule is to choose the wood or logs that you like the look of and then spend lots of time looking around at different manufacturers, careful to pick the ones that are generally interested in your requirements and spend time going through the options with you. If a company is all too interested in just selling you a kit or package, be careful. Do your homework and learn as much as possible, building a log home can be great fun and extremely satisfying but there is much to learn. Having said all that, living in a log home can be energy efficient, built in the right way and can give homeowners the feel of days gone past and something a little different but treat it as you would when buying any home, with care and lots of thought.
