As you drive up the road it looks like one. When you walk up the driveway it looks like one. When you're standing right next to it, it looks like one. It has all the earmarks of a "real" log home. Except it's not. It's made out of concrete.
"You have to touch it. You have to feel it. When you're telling people we're building homes that look like real wood but are made out of concrete, the first question is, 'What does the stuff look like?' And the second question is, 'Why?' "
Stewart Hansen and I are standing on the porch of a concrete log home, one of 30 his company, Cultured Log Systems http://www.culturedlogs.comof Missoula, Montana, has built in the last three years.
It sure fooled me.
