Are Antique Logs Cost Effective?
Building an antique log home should be comparable to any other custom homebuilder, whether it is a log home or any other type of conventional home. The insulation is outstanding, as our logs are about 6" thick on average, making the R value very good starting out. We insulate between the logs with wire and insulation, then chink with our own special mixture of mortar and cement, making a very authentic look and weather-tight seal.
Though the prices are comparable, the quality and history of our product is priceless. It is truly like purchasing a piece of American history.
These logs were hand-hewned by the craftsmen of the frontier era and were chosen from the largest, densest trees in the forest. They were all hewn from heart wood, and the soft bark and outter wood was hewn away.
The logs we find were once the homes and farm buildings for American families on the frontier. Again, all of the logs we use at Walden Log Homes were hewn by hand from original heart wood. These relics of forgotten American history were abandoned and forgotten as the families later moved on. Many of these original log homes have been covered with siding, making the salvaged logs exceptionally protected from the elements.
We locate these gems in their original settings and begin the restoration process so that they can be brought back to life and once again enjoyed by a new generation. Sleep well at night knowing that you and your family are enjoying the best built log homes at the best price!
