When asked why he wrote Log Home Secrets of Success, Roland said, "After 20 years of talking to the owners of existing log homes, I realized that too many people who really wanted log homes were being thrown off track by the complexity of obtaining their dream. I wrote this book to cut through the confusion that discourages them and explain what really matters and what doesn't so they can confidently move from wanting a log home to getting one."

Roland received a master's degree in magazine journalism from Syracuse University. He lives with his wife, artist Theodora Tilton, in Mount Vernon, Virginia, where he can be found hiking, flying, and compiling news of human folly, which he chronicles in a weekly syndicated newspaper column.

This review is from: 100 Best Log Home Floor Plans (100 Best (Krause Publications)) (Paperback)

This book of floor plans for Log Homes gave us several ideas for floor plans. We plan to build a "Cultured Log" home in Montana and may use some of several of these floor plans by selecting various rooms from different plans and creating a new floor plan design for our property. The pictures in the book gave us some ideas for front door entry's.
