BoblinkaHello everyone,
I’m new here and trying my hand at my first post. We are planning to build our house next year. We are considering constructing a log house (with straight log beams). We would like windows that open outward, but also shutters. Does anyone have experience with this? Are there any proven solutions? Historically, this was common in Northern Europe. Thank you very much for your suggestions.

The plan is to build a solid wood house (specifically with log walls).Then I suggest you face reality. Both the thermal insulation regulations and the current situation in the timber market can only faintly sympathize with such dreams. While modern solid wood construction is possible (using other methods), building with sawn full logs is no longer feasible. The desired look can still be achieved.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
