The moose head got his nickname when he was being transported from British Columbia in a box that flew out of the truck. There are also other special and unique pieces of furniture in the log cabin to include six funky leather chairs that are placed in different spots from the family room, loft and a bedroom. A friend of Craigs was selling the chairs from his cigar store; he asked if he could buy some of the old ones.

It's very interesting to see a log home that's not built out of wood but cement logs for a completely different design and affect. Which do you prefer, regular log homes or this innovative design?
