In thirty years or so, when I have a nice house, I want a log home somewhere slightly rural. Brick would be acceptable, but my dream home doesn't have vinyl.
Then again, I've seen log-exterior doublewides... hmmm...
Actually...I liked my vinyl. You never have to paint the house again (first time I had it painted, the stuff started peeling after 4 years) and the insulation sure did cut down the heating/cooling costs.
