Just like a boat...

I have "rehabbed" a couple of older homes through the years and by the time I was done one thing became obvious.

I would have been time, money, chalk and marbles ahead to have just knocked them down in the beginning and built a new one instead of trying to fix up the old one. Every time.

Given the incredible advances in new home building technology I wouldn't touch an old house with a ten foot pole. If you want a log home check out the new prefab ones.

Almost surly you could buy and build a beautiful new high efficiency prefab log home for less that it would cost to fix up an old one unless the the old one had been very carefully maintained or if you just weren't very picky.

Your blood pressure, your banker and your wife will thank you.
