There are two types of log homes, the handcrafted log homes and the milled log homes.

The modern types of log cabins are called the log home. These are usually made of milled logs. The interior and exterior of the log home are visible.

There have been massive constructions of log homes in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.

Among log houses already built, only 10% are those built with individually handcrafted logs with the use of handheld tools.

Log cabin producers, particularly those that belong in the Log Homes Council, have agreed to produce a manual for construction, to follow a strict and uniform code of ethics and a unified and certified program for log grading.

Although log cabins and log houses are constructed from the similar materials they do have some differences; log cabins are usually built with round rather than hewn or hand-worked wood where as log houses tend be a one story building, with an almost "less finished" appearance (unlike the log cabins) as these were initially constructed with the intention of being short-term.

It is interesting to note that currently, there are over 500,000 log homes in the U.S. This count accounts for 7% of the whole custom home building market in the U.S.

In case of log homes with two storeys, the collar tiles, roof structures and the upper potions of cabins should be inspected.

The best log cabins now have double glazing.

Mold and mildew that settle on the wood panels of the log cabin must be dealt. This will keep them from spreading and wrecking havoc on the rest of the structure.
