Inside

There are many choices for the walls, ceiling, and floors inside your log home. The interior walls are normal framed walls, and can accept T&G, Shiplap, Siding, or Drywall. The roof can be conventional or timber framed. For conventional ceilings, you may choose T&G or drywall. For timber frame ceilings, you will have T&G on the ceiling behind the rafters.
