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!

Another milestone reached this weekend

We finally finished sanding the inside log walls. We started on August 1, 2013. So just over a year to complete the sanding - but in real time it was only weekends over a 9 month period. In actual hours it was around 250. Looks great. Now we clean and then seal.



The bottom 2 logs are what the walls were like before sanding. The floor will be above those 2 logs.


Blowing the sanding dust off of everything. It'll take us a weekend to clean before we can seal the logs.
