Helpful Tips for Building a Log & Timber Home

Log and Timber Home Magazine.

Great Magazine if you are looking to build a home in the mountains of Western North Carolina and need some ideas of designs.

They have 3 different magazines
Log Home Design
Log Home Living
Timber Home Living

You can search all three magazines on their website at one time, which I especially thought was handy if you are looking for something specific.
