Log House Plans

A log home or to some a log cabin is typically made from logs that have been milled into conventional lumber. The term log home is a contemporary phrase often referenced by log home builders; meanwhile, log cabins often indicate a smaller, rustic alternative. Log homes are constructed one of two ways, "handcrafted" or "milled," which doesn't affect the dynamics of the design rather institutes an additional element of character as "handcrafted," log homes are constructed with peeled lumber which has otherwise been unchanged from its original makeup. On the other hand, "milled," log homes are constructed of machine-profiled lumber, providing a more uniform appearance.
