Hey Joated — hehehehe Like I say in the referenced post — milled log homes can be beautiful — and seeing yours under construction looks like its going to be beautiful . You are correct – A milled D profile has beauty in its uniformity and as you say is much easier to construct than a natural log home.

We all make choices for various reasons — thats the beauty of it — and certainly the beauty of wood no matter what form it takes –

Bridging traditional with modern is a very respectable way to go — give you the best of both worlds and creates a warm environment.

You will find that your maintenance regiment will be easier than had you built a traditional log. – especially the interior.

Kudos on your construction — Ive been checking out your post and the two of you are making great headway!

Thanks for reading!Glad you like!

Okay, so maybe to a “purist” like yourself, my home is not a “log home,” but to me a milled log has characteristics that bridge the traditional withthe modern.

I chose the milled log with a “D” profile (flat on the inside and rounded on the outside) for its uniformity, beauty and ease of construction.

Do I like the way the traditional rounded logs look? Sure I do. I love the appearance of the Adirondack Great Camps. (And Bearfort Lodge looks like a Great Camp to me.) I chose not to go that way. (Please don’t hate me for it. )

You asked if you could link to my blog–feel free to do so.
