Releases/Trails End Log Homes
For Immediate Release
Buying or building a new home is a major undertaking and finding the one that is right for a family is not something that should be done over the weekend. Especially if seriously considering a log home, there are many factors to consider that will make a home a dream or a nightmare.
Dan Barnett at Trails End Log Homes, a company owned and operated by his family in Sisters, Oregon, ensures that every home produced by his company meets not only the immediate needs of the family but also the future through proper maintenance and care. Just like a traditional wood frame house needs regular maintenance, so do log houses. Water is one of the enemies to wood and traditional homes need siding or paint for protection. Log homes also need waterproofing.
Picking a new log home should not only be about the floor plan, according to Barnett. The quality of the logs to be used, the types, sizes and quantity of bolts that will hold it together also need consideration. Unlike frame houses, the owner will want to know how many nails are used in the walls and the moisture content of the logs to prevent them from twisting and losing their shape. This information is not part of building a stick house, but needs to be considered in a log house.
The experience of the Barnett family is what makes Trails End Long Homes special in this specialized industry, and finding information on the company as well as facts about building and living in a log home is also freely available on the company's Web site.
