[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 646231, member: 3937"] Log homes in the US are more costly to build [sq foot] then conventional. There are always exceptions of course. And homes are taxed on value. Lake homes to rich people is a big deal up here. and there are MANY conventional and log homes valued in the millions. Makes a good tax base. All the towns have new schools etc. Windows and doors are the main heat loss areas in homes. R 7 windows and doors are max. While walls will normally be R-22 ceilings R-40. 6 inches of fiberglass has the same R factor as 12 inches of dry wood. Wet wood and cracks lowers the R-factor. 6 inches of fiberglass is also equal in R factor to 12 feet of solid concrete. :shock: [/QUOTE]
