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!

Getting higher

Saturday - stapling insulation layer

Front door opening

Side door opening

Sunday - 2 more courses and we'll be laying logs across the window openings


The center wall is at height where our next course will go over the window openings
We're getting to the point that we have staging to lay the logs. That takes more time and so we didn't get as much accomplished as Bob would have liked this weekend, but we're moving along. We're going to get the entire structure to the point that our next row of logs will go across the top of the window openings. Oh - by the way, if you haven't noticed the leaves are starting to change...
