Since the logs have been up I've been on my own, learning as I go. Kids are excited because they finally get their own rooms.

You know of course that burnt orange is the color of the Texas Longhorns Wink Wink

I also like the combination of burnt orange and rustic look and love the stairs. I hope that you're a young guy with those stairs or they're for the kids!

That is beautiful. Burnt Orange is in style....


I have to laugh at Katrina! We built a new house two years ago and ALL my wife was worried about was.......the color of the walls, the style of toilets -fixtures etc, the lighting fixtures, kitchen appliances and floor coverings. That's it, nothing else concerned her.

You reminded me. Say what?

The logs look great. Burnt orange (Texas color) would NEVER fly here in Husker Nation. Laughing

My wife and I have been wanting a log home ever since we got married. Maybe someday..... Anyhow, I'm glad to see somebody has one. Sure looks comfy.

Good job! I think you're right - when the trim and such things go up, it will be absolutely beautiful! Very nice!

It is 1500 sq ft on the main, same for the basement. I think the loft is abt. 700 or so. Kids rooms upstairs, so when I get old I will have no reason to go up there, everything I need is on the main.
The logs have been out for a year and a half now.
PS, send some pics of your house, Ive never seen one of limestone and Im interested.

So you got about 3700 sq ft. that's just about right to raise a family in.I actually built two houses ,the first one was about 3700 sq ft,and this one is about 2200,its all I need Ill post a picture of it ,turned out alright........................good luck
