Final pricing fore each of these items will be determined after the buyer has had an opportunity to consult with a Kuhns Bros. Log Homes Interior Design Consultant and has selected the final style, quality, and quantity of each of these items. Materials will be supplied accordingly in relation to the desired log profile, floor/roof systems, etc. selected. In addition, pending these selections, plan adjustments may be required which can effect the overall size of the structure and base value, impacting materials and square foot pricing. The square foot pricing is based on square footage of living area and does not include the square footage of garage areas, porches, and decks. The materials are subject to change without notice based on the manufacturer. 9nterior Finish Materials include: Appliance package, kitchen/bath cabinets, cabinet hardwood, countertops, hardwood flooring, plumbing fixtures, fireplace package, interior and exterior lighting, and overhead garage doors.
