Here on Florida's Suncoast, we're not much into log cabins, but we are into Key West cottages. Our forming group is in favor of smaller 750 ft2 - 1200 ft2, cottages. We're going "green" with the use of panelized building materials (foam between concrete board) which offer great insulation, nothing for termites to eat, and storm resistance up to 200 mph winds. Topped off with metal roofs, we hope our homes will be cute as a button and snug as a bug in a rug when "de hurricane blow mon." Our homes' panelized skeletons will be manufactured locally in Englewood, FL by HomeFront Homes of Katrina Cottage fame. Check out www.katrinacottagegroup.com<http://www.katrinacottagegroup.com/> and www.homefronthomes.com<http://www.homefronthomes.com/> to see what we have in mind. .....Van..... 941.408.7440 Suncoast Cohousing of Sarasota County, FL An Elder Rich Community in the making. vandeist [at] msn.com<mailto:vandeist [at] msn.com> ----- Original Message ----- From: Joanie Connors<mailto:jvcphd [at] gmail.com> To: Cohousing-L<mailto:cohousing-l [at] cohousing.org> Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2008 9:47 AM Subject: Re: [C-L]_ Any Small Places for Rent Where did you get this idea that a log cabin is an ideal way to live? Sure, they are pretty, but they are not inexpensive or sustainable (use way too many trees) and not very energy effiicient. Plus they are prone to bugs unless you use huge amounts of chemicals. I'm not aware of any cohousing communities with log cabins. Perhaps someone else knows of one? _________________________________________________________________ Cohousing-L mailing list -- Unsubscribe, archives and other info at: http://www.cohousing.org/cohousing-L/<http://www.cohousing.org/cohousing-L/>
