Some Fallacies About Luxury Log Homes



History records that the sixteenth president of the United States Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin way back before it became fashionable to build luxury log homes. Thus, it does not come as a surprise that many people now consider these simple yet amazing homes as vacation properties or permanent residence.
However, you will be surprised by the tall tales that you will hear when you make your intentions of building luxury log homes known to the people around you. The reason for this is that many people are far too concerned with the functional use of a house and thus place less emphasis on stylishness and elegance. However, those who can afford luxuries know that elegance and stylishness is as important in a home as its functional use.
The first fallacy that you will be told is that it costs a huge sum of money to build luxury log homes. However, the fact remains that the cost of building these elegant homes is not way off the mark when you consider the costs involved in building conventional homes. For instance, the basic building material for this dream house is timber. Conversely, you will need to buy, siding, sheetrock, insulation, shielding and framework among other things if you want a conventional house.
Nonetheless, the cost is justified even if it costs more to build luxury log homes than it would cost to build conventional homes. For one, you my friend are not an ordinary person thus; you should live in an extraordinary house. More so, the psychological satisfaction that comes from living in unique homes cannot be quantified in monetary terms.
Another fallacy that you will hear is that building luxury log homes is a needless waste of resources because such structures are not sturdy. However, such a claim is nothing more than the fallacy that it is. The fact remains that luxury log homes remains one of the sturdiest structures ever built anywhere in the world. The strength lies in the simplicity if their engineering and they are known to be withstand earthquakes in some places.
It may also surprise you to hear stories about the unreasonably high degree of maintenance needed in luxury log homes. Critics may go as far as telling you that you will be forced to contend with cracks or gaps when the timber finally settles. However, this may only be possible if you have gone into the woods to get logs and you made the construction a do-it-yourself project. Of course, it makes it more of an attempt at a craft than a house.
On the contrary, such issues cannot surface if you hire the expertise of professional luxury home builders in the development of your luxury log homes. In fact, it may interest you to know that the timber used by these experts usually go through processing to ensure that they can resist the infections, rots, insects and the elements.
