A friend had a log home out the road he built. He said about maintenance.He owned for about 40yrs. Just sold it to his cousin,moved(him and his wife are 72) into brick ranch nearer town.
When I was self employed I built post and beam home. Very well insulated and warm. Pine board and batten exterior with cedar shake roof. The carpenter bees bored holes in the stained pine after a few years. Now its vinyl siding exterior.
