Anyone who knows this flick, feel free to join conversation and post the name of the movie. Green technology really is something that should be obligatory with every new home. I guess that day is still quite far... but we'll live to see it (hopefully). I don't have any photos of green log homes (what does that tell about log home people). I should go and get them. Anyway, thanks for stopping by Wally. Hi Wally, can’t really connect the dots with this movie, though I’d like to watch it.

I’m thinking that once a month rotation could be enough for this topic. Log home industry is large and growing fast, but we who are enthusiastic about log homes and cabins - well - we tend to be there on that older end of human timeline. Now this means that our segment in internet is not flooded with personal blogs and websites, which cover log homes and log cabins.

Actually I was hoping to get some mead (hey, I'm from Finland), but I didn't see any, not even in pictures, some Viking villa, huh? I've done my share of camping in wilderness during winter so I take modern amenities anytime over Viking dwellings, but I have to admit building was very rustic and had unique atmosphere. PS. Tomorrow there are some outside photos on the menu. They did offer some soup, but it was far from authentic Viking kitchen.

I suspect that lot of this trend has to do with people getting old. The idea of mopping every nook and cranny of a large log home doesn't appeal to modern day log home owner. Empty nesters have no use for those empty bedrooms either. Then we have that cost side, can't avoid paying the bill, huh? I have looked into <a href="http://www.inthewoods.com/" rel="nofollow">In The Woods</a> and I like what I see. Good products, good reputation and most importantly, tremendous respect towards workers and customers. I'd say these are ingredients for success. Hello Renee.

Since I track trends, we're seeing more folks go with less than 2500 square feet but pouring more $$ into really nice interior outfitting and some nice exterior touches. BTW, I loved the photos you posted regarding your vacation trip. Massive structures and absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing! Renee at AmerLink &#38; In The Woods Log Homes You are so right, sir!

I'll put them online and post some here. I will let you know when they are ready. It is really impressive, Vikings used open area fire places to cook inside and heat the building so smoke brought some mystery to the place. On the ridge there were some shutters, which could be closed if necessary that's how they got rid of the smoke. During our time of visiting, there was plenty of smoke as they were demonstrating how Vikings used to make food and what kind of tools and ingredients were used. I sure have some outside photos.
