If his requirements need more logs, then my price is by the log, so he understands the price will go up if there are more logs needed. I found sites on the net that price out logs this way, so I assume it is a valid way to calculate costs? I also priced it out based on 400 logs 16' long. I gave him a price based on 16' logs, and calculated by the linear foot. He will be seeing a builder and engineer in the near future and will have some plans drawn with more precise log requirements. He is wanting a rustic looking home for this one, and insists on calling it a "cabin"ĭoes the 3/4" per foot shrinkage rule apply to logs that have been air dried or kiln dried? I am guessing he wants 10' ceilings in the house and I will need to figure the shrinkage into this.īy the way, I gave him a "rough-ball park" price today (thanks to the advice I got from you guys ) and he seemed happy with what I gave him. This will be a second home to him, and at 2500 sqft will be much smaller than his primary home. One made in the "kit" style would more suit his lifestyle and time restrictions.
