Hi
Just a brief introduction to myself and apologies if this in the in wrong thread, hopefully the mods will keep me right !
We live just north of Aberdeen in the UK and we had a Log House Self Build finished in 2010, taking about a year to do it all which wasn't bad but we had a terrible time with the suppliers, hardly visiting the site during the build (leaving most of the work to our local joiner) and when we had big problems with draughts at the end of the build they just washed their hands of us, I believe they no longer trade, no surprise.
We are also off the mains grid so relay on PV, Wind and various other 'thing's which we have not got our heads around, a big learning curve !
Anyway if you want to see the issues and the good bits, I have a website http://www.russquinlan.co.uk
The purpose for this post though is to ask if anyone can recommend another Log Home supplier ?
As much as we love our house (and site!) it is too big for us and we are looking to downsize for our retirement years in the next year or so.
I have contacted 3 suppliers, one in England and 2 up here and the only one who really wants to discuss it with us is the one down south. Having sent plans of what we would like and also asked for info on their own designs, I am worried the lack of communication with the Scottish ones is an indication of possible problems in the future, I mean if a business does not reply to emails from their website, its not a good sign is it and I don't want to have the same issues we had last time.
Our house is a Finnish model and in the 7 years we have been in the house have loved the wooden house and is why we want to do same again.
So if anyone has any recommendations I'd be grateful if a pointer.
thanks
