The Art of Log Home Construction; From Humble Beginnings to Modern-Day Big BusinessLog Home Construction is Nothing New
The last generation of original log cabin homebuilders faded from existence during the 70s. Fortunately, a few publications recorded the knowledge and techniques used by these old timers on how to build a hand crafted log home. Using nothing more than a few basic hand tools such as an axe, saw, drill, and hammer the original log cabin home was crafted from hewn logs, stone, and mud. The only cost being that of patience, hard work, and sweat. Modern fasteners such as high-tech lag screws and bolts were not available. Instead, hand-fashioned wooden pegs were driven through hand-drilled holes to hold each component in place. Foundations were often nothing more than large rocks to support sill plates. Some old timers crafted a 36-inch high rock masonry foundation under the belief that termites and other insects would not climb beyond that height to reach wood components. Modern-day Log Home BuildersToday, log homes are still available; ranging from a simple, relatively low priced, DIY log home kit (complete with instructional videos on how to build a log cabin), to the sophisticated multi-million dollar luxury log home plan. Elaborate homes offered by a log home design and construction firm, with an army of craftsmen to undertake each project. How can the system know that "team builder" is one tag not 2 in this scenario, particularly if "team" and "builder" also appear in the system as individual tags. Is it necessary for users to define multi word tags when searching? ie search for say "team-builder london" or "team builder, london". This would solve my problem but I think it is counter intuitive for users.Financial ConsiderationsMany log home builders and log home kit marketers have resources for obtaining a log home construction loan. Log home prices are at a premium for completed homes. Just a basic design in a wooded setting can fetch prices ranging from $160,000 and up. 1.
