Log Home Builder

If you're thinking about building a hand crafted log home, think long and hard about the person you choose to build it. Although it sounds like common sense, you should interview several people your GC candidate has built for and if possible, review some of their physical work in person. Anything less than this is kind if like taking a shot in the dark. Here's a short list of critical attributes your GC should have:

1) Integrity that's been proven over a long period of time
2) Previous experience in contracting (it sounds silly, but anyone can call them-self a general contractor, just like anyone can call them-self a writer, a singer or an investment professional)
2) Good communication skills e.g. listening, verbal and written
4) Overall qualities of a person you feel you can work with effectively over a long period of time

There's more, but in my experience these are critical considerations for anyone thinking of building a home, log or otherwise.
As it relates to living the American dream, I'll keep you posted....
