Customer Reviews

Excellent starting point
This book features high-quality, full-color pictures that will help you identify features that you are looking for in your log home. It also includes a introductory overview of log home building. Do not expect an explanation of the building process! This is not a construction/contracting manual or a technical plan book, instead it is an exceptional "idea" book. This is not the only log home book you will ever need, but it is one that will be very helpful during the beginning stages of planning a log home.

Great ideas and insights from a real expert.
Cindy Thiede has written many log home books. "The Log Home Plan Book," is a real winner as it is full of information from log home oweners/builders/designers, that may not be apparent for the novice.

Great photos, combined with informative narrative make this book a bible for the log home builder or enthusiast.

It was an excellent gift for a future log home builder.
I bought this book for my parents because they recently bought land to build a log house. There were many books to choose from but this one was definitely a hit with them. It has great pictures and excellent blueprint type plans. Even if you don't do exactly what the book says, it's a wonderful resource for general ideas. A superb gift for any present or future log home owners.
