Old Chum is looking to take his family to a new house. I found a place with just about everything I'm looking for except it is a log cabin. It's modern, air forced heat, special grooves to seal the logs together, etc. What I'm looking for advice on is how the insulation properties of logs compare to a convention home. I've talked to a number of people now that sell these things and of course they say great things. I'm looking to hear from someone that has actually lived in one and has had possibly some bad experiences. Please give me any advice you all have. One plus is that it is very near a lake. Thanks. -Old Chum
