THIS guy makes a helluva home. I've talked with him and while I haven't gone thru his factory in McCleary, I've seen some of his construction materials. They don't really build a "log" home, even though the name implies that, but If I was considering a log-like or timber frame home, this is the outfit I would try to hook up with.
I know that this thread has taken a turn into something you weren't asking.........but I thought maybe someone might be interested in this.
