I bet nobody makes pics of your house in Tampa! It is beautiful, very beautiful, but not special.

I like the looks of the NO house. It has character. Please don't tear it down! ;-)

I live in South Florida, believe me, he's not lying when he says people take pics of his house. I've seen tourist doing it in my neighborhood. People from the North love the houses in Florida, they look nothing like houses up there so they take pictures to show their friends and family back home.

IT does suck about having to subdivide the property... They call it progress. One good thing about it though, I should make a nice profit... then maybe I can afford a Shaw Estate.

BTW I saw your conversions with us, they are looking nice... we want more traffic!! Lets talk this week !

It might do you some good to go digging into the public records as far back as you can and see what the land used to be; could be there is some historical value there that would save you on taxes and make the property worth more at the same time.

My ex parents-in-law purchased an old house with a ton of acreage like that back in MD; it was actually the landing spot of the first settlers there. They gutted it and redid it, like you did - the only things original were the walls, stairs, and two chimneys. They bought it for $92k and ex mom-in-law did the digging on the history of the place, found out that it was the first settlement in MD etc - make a long story short, it just sold for $1.5M.
I loved being outside there. I had a baby fox whose mom was killed and I raised the baby until it was old enough to be on its own, we had two coon kits that we raised the same way. Chickens, more cats than you could count, an old arabian horse... it was just fantastic.
I really miss it from time to time.

Now this pic doesn't look so heavy and oppressive. (The wood)
I guess it's cuz you can see some light walls in contrast to that wood, and the view outside.
Makes it look much more livable. (well, excusing the goofs sexually harrassing the zebra, LOL)

I don't know of any women that care for cherry wood. It's dark and masculine looking. I like it personally.

It's a deal, Michael! But we'll have to trade porches. I'd love to sleep outside on your upstairs porch - with lots of "Deep Woods OFF" and your skeeter magnet, of course.

As far as subdividing, the same thing happened to my mom in Jacksonville on the St. John's. She bought 10 acres with 2 large (4K and 6K sq ft) and one small (2K sq ft) houses on it back in the late 70's for about $250K. When she sold it, she sold it for $250K a 1/4 acre! She has to pay mad capital gains taxes on it, but I don't think she cares. Too bad I won't see a dime of it when she dies.

The sad thing is that the developers have crammed million dollars houses on 1/4 acre lots. Those that are directly on the river have about a 10-20 foot buffer between their homes and the water and some have pools that are so close to the river that if a storm comes through, they end up with river water in the pool. Crazy, IMHO.

Carrie, we have the records. The land was part of Delecrouix Plantation. The plantations back in the day had thousands of acres of land....

The land also had a small skirmish on it from the Battle of New Orleans. ( historical reminder - from war of 1812 - Andrew Jackson defeated a large English Army in Battle on New Orleans)

Besides this nothing major, and it does not really enhance the value for most people..... I like the idea of living on history - though I would imagine all land has SOME kind of history.

Hey Peaches, who built your log cabin? Was it one of the big builders that have a network of dealers, or just a local builder?

I'm having these guys:

http://confederationloghomes.com

build me one next year and I'm just researching them right now to make sure I don't make any mistakes. I've heard horror stories from some people that went with shitty builders and had all sorts of problems when the wood started to shrink and warp.

Is your house still airtight after 2 years? Any problems heating/cooling it?

I'm the third owner and the people I bought it from had no records from the original owner.

There was a local builder's name on the septic certificate who has either gone of business or changed names. From what I can tell looking at other plans, it was NOT a major company who built it.

It was built in 1997, so whatever problems are going to happen, hopefully already have, hehehe. The people I bought it from had a roof leak, but never a log problem. They are relatively thin logs - 4-5 inch D shaped tongue/grove. I researched a lot before I bought this house because I thought Iwas going to end up building and I shyed away from the round logs (wanted to be able to have more "decorating freedom" inside) and the chinked (didn't want to rechink) and had chosen the D logs. If I built it over again, the ONLY thing log related I'd do differently is get thicker logs, but not because it's really needed - the insulation is fine for me - but remember, there's no reinsulating log once it's built.

I've not had problems with bugs/woodpeckers except freaking carpenter bees.

It needs to be cleaned, stained and sealed again, but that's not bad after almost 7 years. My isn't anything fancy - about as plain as you get get, lol! It's a cabin, not a house.

One think I noticed about a lot of log cabins is that they are ALL wood inside. My interior walls are drywall as well as all the upstairs walls. Wood on the floor, walls and ceiling are a little much day in and day out and this way I can paint.

Another way to save money is to do what they did with my house - only the main floor is log. The upstairs is cedar siding.

http://www.lhoti.com has a good message board!

Peaches · 09-14-2003, 08:23 AM

Here are a few pitures of the outside:

If I ever buy another house, it will be log!

09-14-2003, 08:28 AM

Thanks for the info!

I've actually been trying to find some log home message boards but couldn't find any that actually had more than a handful of threads. That one looks pretty busy.

I started searching in google for people that have had bad experiences with log homes just to know what to avoid, and I came across this site:

http://www.erinhope.com/loghome

The thought of sinking my savings into a log home and having something like that happen scares the shit out of me.

Wow! And it's such a pretty house.

One thing you DO need to realize is that there will be imperfections, settling, some sap, cracks, etc. I have a couple of places of sap, some places that have been filled in between the logs, and of course small cracks in the logs themselves, but IMHO, that's the character of the logs. They aren't structural problems, but then again, they aren't the perfect smooth drywall that a lot of people must have.

There are a few things with that house that I'd accept, but the whole package of the problems REALLY sucks.

Now, now - different people have different tastes.

My SIL is an interior designer and she had a FIT when I started picking stuff out. I wanted all different bright pastels throughout the house - "Like the Easter Bunny threw up" were my exact words to her.

If the teal loveseat and pink sofa weren't enough to put her over the edge, I'm in the process of painting almost each wall a different color. And contrary to her protesting, I won't put up any curtains and if I put up valances, they'll be VERY small (I don't want to block my view, lol!).

Of course, I think what really sent her off was when I hung the chili pepper lights on the deck and the large pastel Christmas lights in the screened porch!

I grew up in "show houses" and that my mother had professionally redecorated every few years (she and my SIL get along beautifully - natch). But I'm the only one who has to live here and I decorated it for ME - just like everyone should do.

I just think the gold and the molding clash.. if you did the highlights in perhaps an off-white or even the same red.. but if you like it, it's good on ya man

I'm shopping up here north of Detroit now... It's such bullshit! there's only one other city in the country that is more expensive then where I'm shopping. Makes me want to move down to Tampa or Scottsdale or something so I could actually get something that's not a mow-down for a million bucks.

Ya, I like the rustic feel of a log home. I don't mind the checking that occurs, etc. that's sort of the appeal.

I'm gonna go all the way with the cabin feel and order one of those deer antler chandeliers and get a bearskin rug, etc.

As long as I don't end up with something that lets the sun shine through the walls. LOL.

Supposedly the thru-bolt system the builder I'm looking at uses will help with settling, as you can tighten the logs back down after the majority of the settling occurs.

I could never why people beleive that buying a single tenant house is an investment. If you want to invest in real estate buy a multi-tenant residential properrty, or an office building, or a commercial building, or an industrial building or even a REIT. But don't buy a house and call it an investment.

First tell me were do you live, what's the value of your house, how much mortgage, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance fees do you pay per year, the I'll be able to give a better answer. Btw, are the other houses in your neighbourhood also increasing by $100-150K per year? If yes, you are not exaclty making , more like you will be losing money when you'll sell it for another house....
