DIYers Tip: What we offer for self builders

DIYers

More people that you might think are interested in building their own log homes. We offer five helpful bonuses for self builders.

• First, I have a flyer about our Construction Seminars. They are for builders and self builders. I highly recommend that self builders attend the next one, which will be in 2009.

• Second, I will give you our Construction Manual on CD. It takes you through all of the detail work.

• Third, the logs are precut. This makes some of the work easier.

• Fourth, we provide a wall chart that tells you where the numbered logs go. It is like paint by the numbers, only the logs are heavy.

• Fifth, we will be on call to give you help if and when you run into any situations that you cannot sort out. There are usually two or three places where you might have questions or concerns. Remember, people who build their own log homes are quite common.

Give me a call after you have reviewed the information package from me and we can chat or sit down and go over the details. I will bring along some floor plans and a copy of the old Construction Manual so you can see what it contains.

You can do it. It also helps to get your friends and relatives involved.

News Flash - Your Material Package Deposit

Announcing:

$500 to get started on your floor plans.

Applies for March 2013 only.

Normally, a $2,500 deposit is required to begin preparing your floor plan drawings. During March 2013 only, the process can begin with a $500 deposit. This is not a discount off the $2,500 deposit.

If you wish to begin construction immediately, then I suggest that you place a 50% deposit. This will put you at the top of the floor plan preparation list.

When your floor plans are OKed by you, we can have the material package on your job site in 45 days or less.

Improve the value of your home to sell

Home to sell?

Do you have a home to sell before you can get started on your log home ... from LogHomesByJack.com, of course. If so, then give your existing home a facelift ...

But, do not spend more in renovations than you will ever get out of it. For instance, do not add a sunroom, garage or an elaborate new deck.

Posted originally on 11/25/12

Five bargain renovations that add value.

• Reface kitchen cabinets

• Install a new kitchen countertop

• Update the bathroom

• Boost curb appeal with a new roof

• Add a deck [homes.yahoo.com] 11/24/12

Added note from Jack: 

When putting your home on the market, consider the value in painting the walls, particularly if they are old, stained, dinged or painted in a color that only you might appreciate. A second option is to replace worn and outdated carpet. Finally, declutter [i.e., move “stuff” to storage] and then add a few well placed mirrors, pillows and candles. Give it that new "just baked cookies" aroma.

First Posted by Jack on 7/18/12

• New carpeting and vinyl
• Consider cabinet facing make over

• Replace the leaking window
• Update your lighting

• Organize your closets
• Paint inside - neutral colors

• Remove clutter
• Clean up/out the basement

• Reclaim and organize your garage
• Remake the entrance

• Create an office nook, inexpensively
• Maybe, hard wire the computer/data/media room

• Store "stuff" or pitch it
• Clean up the outside front and perimeter

Avoid expensive remodeling and additions. Most all of these suggestions above are not costly and they will improve the value of your home. Click Here for the article.
