We had a 6 year plan. We bought our land, we'd slowly start working on it and by the time Bob retired in 6 years we'd be ready to build. The timing changed when Bob was offered early retirement - and took it - no looking back! This worked out great for us in terms of time & money. We really want to move from our current home and live mortgage free with lower taxes. The plan now is to start building as soon as possible. We've got the house plan drawn, priced logs, have decided where we want the house on the lot and have started clearing the land. This blog will be a chronicle of our homesteading. From the first walks around our property to move in date, we hope to capture it all here in words, photos, & video. Friends & family keep tuned in - you may all be called on for expertise, a strong back, or maybe just to join us on the porch for a cup of coffee!

Log Delivery

We met the guys delivering the logs at P&H Truckstop
They followed us the 3 miles to our property

Coming up our long driveway
Heading for the site

 
That's 3300 linear feet of logs!

Monday the logs were delivered! Yeah! We've had a busy 3 days at the land and things are moving forward quickly at the moment. Money is going quickly too. We got a good deal on the logs from a guy in Rochester, Vermont. They were already peeled and bleached. So we paid a little more than anticipated for the logs, but are saving time because we don't have to peel them. Still much less expensive than buying them from a cabin company. No peeling party Sheila!
