[fun w son]

i am a building inspector for south louisiana, i have personally seen only one built on bourg- larose highway just south of Houma about 7-10 years ago. I drove by there last week and i don't see how it is still standing. many of the logs are completely rotten out.
the owner said that when he noticed wood rot starting, he primed and painted the exterior, but it did not stop the problem.

get as much info as you can and go to your local building official, every parish in the state has one.

ask the salesman to provide you with info on building in a high wind provision area were the average humidity is "too frikin high"
