<p></p> <p>I have been searching for an exterior vent with a curved flange but have not been able to find. I am hoping that someone might point me to the way.</p> <p></p> <p>I have my bathroom fan vents going out the middle of a D style log. The cause a curve.  The vents that I find are all flat, and you can guess require alot of filler and I want to replace it with something that works correctly.</p> <p></p> <p>Does anyone have any advice?</p> <p></p> <p>Thank you in advance</p>

<p>Hello,</p> <p></p> <p>My wife and I are long time log home dwellers. For most all of those years we have had the dumb cluster fly problems. Our current home has windows facing South floor to cathedral ceiling. Fly and ladybug heaven. A month or so back I bought a ultraviolet indoor bug zapper. So often I try things such as the zapper that don't work. Well bingo. The flys were gone in two days. We do still get one or two, but the machine makes short order of them. No solution for the ladybugs…</p>

<p>Hi everyone, I'm hoping to build a small log home in southwest Florida where I currently live for retirement. It's easy finding companies that sell log cabins/home kits but not someone who will actually build the thing on my land. Can anyone point to towards an actual log home builder/contractor?  </p> <p>BTW is the difference between log -cabin- and log -home- referring to square footage or something else?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>bill</p>

<p>Any experienced, quality log home contractors that know how to correctly stain/seal and deal with chinking on log cabins? This is authentic logs that have chinking between each log. Would like to have done immediately or at least in next three of months.</p>
