Nice Concept ,BUT bad for the environment, too costly and unsustainable in the long run...this logs take 80 years to mature plus the 2 years you take before replanting... STOP RAPING THE WORLD!

Log Homes are a Green building method. Imagine these same logs trucked to a mill, energy to cut the logs into 2x material or made into plywood, trucked to a lumber yard, trucked to a job site, cut up into framing. Then add drywall, sheeting, house wrap, siding, lumber trusses, underlayment, and insulation. A log home just saved all that energy and pollution.

Add in a log home has a thermal factor that exceeds the standard R19 used in a stick frame home and they use less energy.

The Best thing about a tree is what you make out of it once you cut it down

I am amazed at people who think that you are "raping the world" by using timber. How did our ancestors manage? I look at commercial woodlands like I look at a field of Barley. They are planted so that they can be harvested. In scotland the woodland floor tends to be a dead area as the spread of the cannopy of the tree's allow very little light in. If you were to leave these trees they would eventually die in some way or form and would then start to release carbon. Use them or let them rot???

All the plastic siding, lumber and drywall in current houses goes straight to the landfill when those houses are done or need resided. Plastic siding can be reused and melted down but in the end it never goes away. Now thats bad for the enviroment. Not to mention houses built now a days are lucky if they will be standing in 50 years Log houses can last hundreds of years built properly.
