I talked to the owner briefly. The thatch was imorted from England and I think the installer was British also. The owner said it was expensive.

I only know of one Thatcher here in the states and he is a fellow Brit, also there are probably less than 2-300 Thatchers back in Britain, several of them have worked here in the States. Thatching is still somewhat common as well in Southern Europe particularly Spain and Portugal.

Kenton; I don't inspect log cabins, but I do have to agree with you on this one.
This is one ugly looking makeshift cabin. ha. ha.

Turns out it's a style called "Rustic". Built this way intentionally.

Yep Marcel, there are a lot of alternative terms those of us with-less-than-perfect parts use to describe ourselves. I believe we become "rustic" when we can't touch our toes without lying on our back on the bed and bending our knees outward.
Oh no! No thumbnail with this post! Kenton Shepard, InterNACHI member # 04082383 Certified Master Inspector (CMI) EXPERT WITNESS Director of Green Building Director for International Development (303) 717-8940 (303) 258-8289 |

Wht did the walls on the inside of the home look like. I owned a log home in Vermont and my exterior logs looked very much like that as well as many log homes I see in VT. By dimentioning,measuring, the log from the center spline to the interior wall and keeping it constant and letting the exterior fall where it may gives demention to the walls which some think gives the walls a rustic look.
If the interior walls are flat I'd say it was built that way. |
