About Me

We are building our own log home in Utah following the methods of the Log Home Builders Association (LHBA). After a lot of research we really felt that LHBA was the best way to go. We highly encourage you to visit the LHBA website at www.loghomebuilders.org. It seems crazy to think we can do this ourselves, but LHBA really makes you a believer! And remember, we welcome any help!

Compound & Concrete Ties

Here are the pictures of the final Mumford compound. I liken it to the Kennedy Compound, but I'm guessing the Kennedy's have indoor plumbing.




You can see our tent, the canopy that has the picnic table, the canopy that has the little play structure, kid picnic table, and the airplane teeter-totter.

Concrete ties are pieces of metal that go all the way through the cement wall and hold the forms in place when they are pouring the walls. Once the wall is done and the forms have been removed, the ties need to be broken off.
