Needs & Wants
Whether you are designing your custom log home or searching for a floor plan that best suits your style of living, here is a list that helps you separate your needs from your wants. The size/type of home that you choose will most of the time, rely on your budget. In order to determine size, it is important to know the number & types of rooms you will need to accommodate the lifestyle of the occupants. After all, healthy living is only possible if everyone is happy with what has been included. If there is still room in the budget, some bonus rooms could be added, a more elaborate design chosen, or possibly the ability to purchase those expensive appliances you’ve always wanted. This list will guarantee confidence that you are building the log home that really suits you or your family’s lifestyle.
