to me
log cabin homes are a liability
because they cost $1,500 per year
(in property taxes and community fees)
to live in
and also at least $200 - maybe more
worth of stain/sealer - every 3 years
(probally unless you paint them
or pay alot to put log/vinyl siding around them)
i like the extra pretty log cabin homes
and i also like the home, garage, mini storage unit
for sale in virginia
yet i can already guess that
the property taxes are probally even more sky high
on both of those buildings with that home
well to me
most all homes are a liability
because you always end up sinking money into them
and most all homes are a dead asset
because you are seldom lucky enough
to get all your money back out of them
when you sell them
o.k. so i have come up with a plan
i am not positively sure - yet
i think that these log cabin homes
might cost $1,500 a year in property taxes
because most all of them are listed as
(rental) business property
so now i am wondering if they relisted them
just as residential homes instead of business property
well then maybe that would
lower the property taxes on log cabin homes !

yes i need a home now
i have not had a home of my own
since 1995 when hurricane fran came along
and ripped my home to pieces
and traumatized me
watching the walls buckle-ing in
like they were flying toward me
to hit me hard
i have never wanted another home alone since then
until now
and i still do not want to be all alone
like i was when hurricane fran came

log cabin homes have also become
something of a status symbol.
Celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates
have all been high-profile log-home owners.
When logs dry,
cracks may open up in the wood,
allowing water and insects inside.
Some log doctors use thermal imaging to find cracks
(cost: about $1,500).
Caulking and sealing costs between $1,000 and $10,000,
says Tracy Hansen, a log doctor in Jackson, Wyo.
If applied right, log stains, which help prevent rot,
last about five years.
Applying a log stain costs "$5,000 and up,"
says Robert Wielhouwer of Crystal Clear Home Services
in Garner, N.C.
Annual inspections are necessary, he says.www.postgazette.com/pg/05183/531715.stm___
