The fact that they expand and contract, which makes is impossible
to get a straight edge in the building, and you have to design
everything (cabinets, kitchen, doors, windows) to move as the
wood expands and contracts. They are a real mess.


I feel the same way about log homes. Plus I am a "wiring freak". I have all
sorts of wires in my house like cable TV/satellite, computer, sound,
security system, etc. Very difficult to run concealed wires in a log home.

But that is for a home to "live in". So far as a log home or cottage as a
vacation destination where you would not want phones, computers, etc. - get
away from it all. I think it would be great!
