Log Home TipIncrease your living space economically!

When you are designing your log home you can increase your living space by as much as 100% if you look down… Often overlooked is the basement as part of your home’s living space, but if planned properly it can become the most popular area of your home.

To best utilize the basement, plan for higher ceilings (9′-10′) to give depth and add visual space.  Plumb for an extra bathroom, seal your walls thoroughly, add a wood stove and make it a walk-out basement.  In addition, this is an area you can finish over time.  Unlike the main living level, it doesn’t need to be completely finished to enjoy your home.
