A student doing a project on Log cabin Homes
 

Hello, I'm a student at UNC Chapel Hill. I'm in an advertising class
and we are doing our final project on Log Cabin Homes, a company based
in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. I have a couple of questions, mainly
for people who either currently live in any sort of log house, (built
by anyone), or for someone who considered it, but ultimately decided
against it. The info will be used STrictly for this class, You will
not be contacted by me, or anyone else involved after you answer.

For those who currently live in a log cabin home:
What was the one thing that solidified your decision to build/live in a
log home?

Have you ever owned a home before this?

How big is your family?

What kind of recreational activities are you involved it? (i.e.
hunting, fishing, sports of any kind, arts and crafts)

During the process of buying your home, did anything make you not want
to buy a home?



For those who thought of living in a log home but eventually decided
against it.

how much did your salesperson effect your decision?

what kind of home did you eventually purchase?

What were the other houses in the neighborhood you wanted to build log
homes in like?

What would you say was the one most important thing that kept you from
buying a log home?


Any answers are much appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!!

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!
