Because I like wood
This site is about celebration of log homes. Sometimes my wife asks me why is it that I like log homes over stone houses? In general terms I would like to quote Ralph Kylloe, author of “The Rustic Cabin: Design & Architecture”. He thinks that the rustic lifestyle is more popular today because,
“We spend our days in buildings made of Sheetrock and filled with highly manipulated furniture and we drive our metal vehicles on concrete roads. We crave nature, but we also don’t want to give up the luxuries that the modern world offers.” (Quote over here)
I couldn’t agree more with Ralph also I would like to add that even my wife considers stone homes just as natural as log homes there is still this clear difference that most people are able to build log homes given some persistence, but stone homes require too much skill to erect. Log home is my choice, because I feel so close to the material it is made of.
