Emulsifiers are the chemicals that make emulsions happen. Nature uses proteins and phospholipids, and many emulsifiers used in modern food production are based on these natural substances. An emulsifier is a molecule in which one end likes to be in an oily environment and the other in a water environment.
1 Estimates of the average cost for labor and materials to have a log home built (either custom or from a kit) range from $90-$150 a square foot, depending on location, quality of materials and the complexity of the project, plus $35-$55 a square foot for basement or garage spaces. A homeowner in the Midwest estimated spending $10,000-$15,000 for cedar beams, double-glazed windows, flooring, plumbing and other materials, or $11-$17 a square foot, with many items bought inexpensively at auction. 2  A member of the Log Home Builders Association paid $100,000 for materials to build his luxury log home.
Obviously the higher price range is for much higher end log homes or even commercial log buildings. The average cost for a medium sized log home (1,500 s.f. - 2,000 s.f.) would be between $20,000 - $40,000 dollars and more depending on the design of the log home and the landscaping. These prices may seem high but you must consider what is being done to your log home.
