man, what a pretty house. I have been following your progress, and it is impressive how well you guys built it. I will take LHBA class in about two years from now, but for now I just look at all the pictures and loving it.

I found the LHBA this week while checking out log homes and stumbled on your blog while reading in the forums. Great seeing your progress and also loving it. I need to start saving up for that class.

Thank you both for your comments :)

The class was really great, we wouldn't be doing this without it, probably be stuck with a 30 yr mortgage instead.

Hi J&J, I too have followed your progress for a long time.

I never registered at the loghome.org site, although that's where I first saw your pictures (and plenty of others).

I hope I can do this myself, some day.

Thank you for sharing, and congratulations!

The very first comment was by me, ivanshayka at LHBA, or just ivan. Just wanted to know what is your overall dimentions of the house, and what is the thickness of base and top of your logs. Thanks, Ivan.

Ran into this blog reading the forums at LHBA - I've never been glued to a blog before until yours.

The house looks wonderful so far and is VERY inspiring.

MORE UPDATES! :D

Ivan, the house is 30'x30', full 2 stories + 1/2 loft in gable.
Wall logs were about 12" at the base.

Derek,
Thanks for the comments, the LHBA is a great forum :)

Moved in!!

About a year and a half later, we have officially moved in! The final inspection went fairly well, we have a couple minor things to fix so the inspector is happy. We are finishing up with trim & baseboards, all the interior doors are in & trimmed out as well. We'll start on the outside porch & entryway once all the inside is completed & moving boxes unpacked :) Pics to come soon....

Kitchen Backsplash

Image
We found some 4x4 white travertine stone(limestone type material that is harder than limestone but softer than marble). It's "tumbled" so it has soft edges & very random. Seems to fit in well with the logs & such. Here is the backsplash with the grout freshly finished. Jessica does a great job with the tile grout. (More attention to detail than me!). Notice anything different (other than the grout)? We had to "find" the outlet that I accidentally covered with cement board & tiled over. Luckily I had a picture with the framing that showed it, & we were able to pop off 2 tiles, the grout them back on after cutting around the box.
