Finishing Your Log Home Later

It's easy to go over budget especially if your not willing to settle for anything less. The thing is you need to make some compromises as you are building your 'ideal' log home. The question is; "How do you build the house you want with all the features you want?" You can plan for certain features now and delay others for later. The way to go about it would be to decide what you want now and what you can put off until later. Before you can start living in your log home you have to find out what the local building inspector considers a "finished" home. You will have to have all electrical outlets and lights properly installed. Safety is going to be the most important item for the inspector. For example, stairs and railings are always required . Lenders also require a certain level of completion before turning a construction loan into a mortgage. Most of us can do without some things, but if you are used to the convenience of something you are going to do without, you may end up missing it fast.
