What are the maintenance costs?

The costs of running a log home are about the same as any house. Western Red Cedar is a particularly durable timber, which basically means that if you bury it in the ground and dig it up 25 years later it will not have rotted.

It will, if untreated turn from Golden brown to grey over the years as teak furniture does.
