Honest Abe Living, June 2024

Our First Zero Energy Ready Home

Honest Abe Log Homes not only offers log cabins, we offer custom designed and manufactured residential and commercial buildings manufactured from Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) combined with timber frame architectural components to create stunning buildings. The exterior can be covered in a variety of materials from stucco to stone to sidings of log, cement-fiber siding, concrete siding, shiplap, board and batten and more.

Homes built with SIP have many benefits, but energy efficiency is among the most attractive. Click below to see photos of the first residential Zero Energy Ready Home certified in the state of Tennessee and learn more about how Honest Abe Log Homes can help you have your own SIP home or commercial building.
