Good information provided. My husband and I are looking at buying a log cabin in New Mexico and some of our/my questions were answered here. I'll end up watching all your videos for more info.
... this would have been helpful BEFORE i bought my log home .... thankfully, mine is in decent shape. i'm having it blasted in a few weeks to restore the exterior too. anyway, thanks fo the helpful info!
😢 just bought a log home. Feel like I got screwed bad. My forever home is turning into a nightmare. I feel like the agent,owner and inspector all knew. Devastated. I need blasting,staining log repair,new windows,roof, gutters and more. There's water damage. Sad time for my husband and I ....wish I would have had you to do a walk through. Retirement for us at this moment is not a celebration 😥
Your home inspector probably didn't know what he was looking at. Maintenance can quickly get out of hand and not obvious to someone who doesn't know what to look for.
There's plenty of non log homes with those problems too. As for maintenance, no different than a regular home. The difference for most log homes in that regard is stain. There's a simple solution though. Don't stain. Let the logs age naturally. If the home is designed properly with 4 foot overhang, the logs are protected from moisture and dont require stain for protection

Log homes suck. Way too much maintenance. They're beautiful, but I'll never own another one. Magnet for bugs, woodpeckers, and rodents.

how long will one repair chinking last? is it good for 3 or so years, or is this a yearly thing? and what is the average log home inspection cost?
