Tips: Kit Homes

Log Homes

Log houses are often built from kits that include all framing, walls, roofs, windows, doors-everything but the foundation. There are more than 200 manufacturers; the method of construction depends on the maker.

Although some log homes are still made from peeled logs, most of today's log houses are made from logs that have been factory-milled in modified dowel shapes and sold as precut kits that can be owner-assembled. They run from small vacation-cabin sizes to large mansions.
