Barn HomesBy Holly OstranderSeptember 13, 2012Leave a comment

Barn Houses Are Not Log Homes

Post & Beam HomesBy Holly OstranderAugust 23, 201216 Comments

Many see the term “barn houses” and “post and beam” or “timber frame” and think: log home living. This is actually not the case. Log homes tend to be more rustic with a very large amount of wood exposed on the interior. Post and beam homes expose the timber structure on the interior where and…
