M Y M O N T A N A H O M E 7 2 LOG HOME PLANS THAT ADMIT THE MOST AMOUNT OF LIGHT POSSIBLE HAVE BEEN GROW- ING IN POPULARITY. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TECHNIQUE FOR MAXIMIZING NATURAL LIGHT? YCCH: Observing how the sun pasts through the property, what the natural views will be from each room, and positioning the house to capture these is effective. Adding large windows to the southern exposure helps as well. MLH: Framing large windows with log posts is very popular these days. We have also created some very nice sunrooms in octagonal shapes that are very bright but cozy at the same time. We have several plans that utilize skylights in the roof system as well to really lighten up a room. PLH: With our boring machine, we are capable of more dramatic trusses than ever before. We are able to hide steel supports inside of the timbers to make our engineer friends happy, and this enables the maximum amount of natural light into any area a customer may request. "WE ARE WELL AWARE THAT FOR MOST OF OUR CUSTOMERS, WE PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN FULFILLING A LIFELONG DREAM." "WE LOVE RUSTIC! WE OFTEN INCLUDE NATURAL CHARACTER LOGS IN THE WALLS AND SUPPORT POSTS OF OUR HOMES."
