Step-by-Step Log Home Design


 
Greg and his wife drive over 200 miles to visit our model log home outside Fredericksburg, VA. Impressed with what they saw, they started with our model's floor plan and modified it to fit their needs. Using the computer and fax machine to design their dream log home and prepare the construction drawings. This is their story:

   

 

After answering a few questions, Greg's first faxed sketches were enough for us to quote a log home kit price.

Using AutoCAD LT, we now begin the design work.  Rather 
than attempt a complete log home floor plan immediately, 
we do it in sections.

There are several ways to design the hallway from the great room to the 
guest bedrooms and bath.  We faxed Greg three options:		 Log Home Page< /br> < /br> < /br> < /br>
