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!

4 + 1

We have 4 layers plus one log done! It still seems like it is taking us too long, but when you figure we got our first load of logs 5 1/2 weeks ago, it's not too bad! Weather and work are keeping us away from doing anything the next few days. Luckily, it's just rain so far but the snow is supposed to start at the higher elevations this week. I can't say I'm too upset about having a couple days break!








If you see someone up next to the house it helps give you some perspective. After 4 layers, the walls are almost 6 feet tall!





After the first layer, you drive pieces of rebar through the top log into the bottom log. This is me cutting the rebar to length. We have to measure at each location and then I cut them.
