OT: Log homes

Suddenly, without warning, Abby.Normal exclaimed (2/12/2008 9:45 AM):

So, what part of "unmoderated" do you not understand? There's NO RULES in this group. Nobody is the moderator, there's no FAQ to lay down "the rules". Random nannies cannot elect themselves as group moderator.

Now please, go away, so we can go back to discussing the log homes we will park our Dodge trucks next to.

sheesh.

OT in a alt.autos.dodge.trucks group has as much to do with anything here as your brain cell has to do with intelligence - not even the same planet. A damn log cabin? what a dick head. I mean, how stupid have you got to be to just select any news feed at random, put in the subject line OT, and proceed. Who in hell do you really think you are? You must really feel significant. You must be from Biserkly or france to think like that. It's just simple arrogant stupidity and nothing more.

You must be new around these parts, aren't ya boy! If you had been on this group for a while you would see that the regulars talk about anything, and everything, and once in a while the disscussion wanders a bit, and they talk about Dodge trucks. Greg

John, trying to moderate this group would be like trying to moderate RMH! Pretty much anything goes over here too. If it were not for the OT posts, this group would be allot like a Victory group some of us are familiar with. Greg

A dick head is what probably is in your mouth

I mean, how stupid have you got to be to

WTF do you think you are?

significant.

He must be significant, as he recieved some answers. You on the other hand are a insignificant pos who is sadly mistaken if you actually believe that you will change things here. Now, run along

Yup, that's what you have demonstrated.

Ok, Roy, that's enough. Please stop feeding the troll (unless you're enjoying this. Then, Flame On!). It's obvious that's what this is. And now he's got you all riled up.

Yea, I was too, but now I can ignore with equanimity. If it wasn't so entertaining, it'd be in my killfile already.

Not riled up at all Jodi, just playing proctologist. But your right and he is becoming tiresome.

When built correctly, log homes have significantly more efficiency than a stick frame home. The R-values are lower, but it's a matter of thermal mass. Basically, the key to efficiency and maintenance is to be sure the home is built and finished correctly. There are some cheap kit homes (although just as many quality kit homes) and cheap hardware store finishing materials not specifically designed for log homes(stains and sealants) available that will not give you the quality. Also, kiln dried logs can now prevent the necessity for settling jacks (the turnbuckles previously mentioned). Chinking can last decades if applied properly but may not be necessary. Log siding shrinks as much as full logs and can be more of a headache because it is more difficult to build in compensatory systems. Also, log homes are much more durable. Here in Western Washington we recently had some severe flooding. Most of the homes washed away. Since it was not a flood plain these home owners are now homeless. One home that was right in the middle of the flooding is still standing: it is a log home.

constant adjusting windows.

I was thinking of building a log home too, then after looking at a few, and talking to customers from a paticular "kit" mfg. (local shop) I didn't want hte headaches.

The first 3 years are the worst
