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!

Logs and Timing

You may have noticed something missing in every picture so far....LOGS! We're still waiting on them! The late rains and unusual spring storms created a big headache for the logging roads in Wyoming (per our logger) and the BLM wouldn't open the roads due to the conditions. Granted I want to have water to drink this summer, but did this have to be the year of late spring storms!?

We had hoped to get the roof on by snowfall because once the snow starts we won't be able to do any work if it's not somewhat weathered in. At this point, I'm not sure that's very likely based on our (mostly Kenyon's) work schedule and when we'll be able to be stacking logs. But, we're still hopeful - maybe the late spring storms will translate into late snow this year! Plus, we're not really looking forward to having to shovel out the basement, which would be necessary. I say "we" but let's face it, that job has Kenyon's name written all over it!

Every week it sounds like we might get logs the next week, so we'll see...
