“The North Carolina trip—where Sanchez saw homes that were beautiful, but also drafty and drippy (she wondered how much harder the upkeep would be in hot, muggy Florida)—taught her a few things. Most importantly, her home could not (and should not) be a literal log home. That’s when Sanchez found Everlog Systems, Inc, a Montana-based company that makes concrete logs, siding, and timbers that look and feel like wood, but are low-maintenance and energy-efficient. For the interior supports, she found a logger who provided the sturdy local cypress trees that anchor the residence’s interior.”
