Anyone Familiar With Older Log Homes?
Looking for information on what to look for & beware of, when inspecting a Log Home that was built sometime in the 1930's.
I'm concerned about integrity of the logs, proper chinking, etc. I know how to build a stick framed house, but do not have any log home experience.
Thank you

- Cement/concrete was a popular chinking or re-chinking - Hobie, 2016-07-28, 12:54
