log homes

[itbrokeagain]

We are considering buy a log house. I already know there is some termite damage but I am hoping this gives me lots of negotiation power with the bank that owns it. I know nothing about maintenance on these. Anyone have any experience?

It would be hard replacing the bottom logs.:eek:

my inlaws have a log home and im thinking about building on myself..The thing is to keep the stain and watter sealer on them bout every 3 to 5 years its a lot of work but there nice and warm easy to heat and cool.

A guy I used to work with had one and believe it or not, squirrels were his biggest issue. They would chew on the corners of the logs and really wreaked havoc.

Logs do have to be tightened occasionally for the first several years. It may not be an issue in an older home.

It is 22 years old so that shouldn't be an issue but some do need to be replaced. Who would do that type of work? I think that's a little more than I want to try.

I don't know where this place is your looking at but out east of Columbus towards Logan, nelsonville there's log home builders all over.

Where does he live, I'll take care of it for him. I love me some fried squirrel.

We were scheduled to go through again today and were going to make an offer. Got a call this morning. It went pending. Oh well.
