Know What's In You Log Home Package

Before you decide on your log home package, make sure you know what is included in the log home package kit. Kits can range from just enough materials to build the basic shell to all the materials and fixtures necessary to finish the home. Just about every producer will offer one or more log home packages with a variety of contents and costs, this helps to decide the buying process. Log home packages are not all inclusive. Packages do not include the cost of the land, the cost to clear the lot nor the cost to install the septic systems. Building the foundation and installing mechanical systems such as electric, plumbing, heating and cooling are extras. Also, remember that erection of the log walls and the delivery of the logs are all extra costs. Most everything inside the home, such as kitchens, bathrooms, plumbing fixtures, hardware, cabinets and appliances are extra. Companies that include windows and doors purchase them at a discount and some of those savings are passed on to you, making it a better idea than buying your own windows and doors yourself.
