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!

I know it's been awhile...

I know, I know, it's been a long time since my last post. But, never fear, you haven't been missing out on anything! Basically, in mid-November we had to stop working because of rain and snow. The forklift kept getting stuck in the mud so, we were done until spring. We ended with 6 1/2 rows up. Then we took as many of our other logs as could fit and put them on top of the house, think makeshift roof. We proceeded to put really big tarps all around the house. We knew it wasn't going to keep it dry inside, but our goal was to keep the majority of the snow out. And, it worked! The tarps ripped by spring, but it definitely did the job and was worth it.

So far this spring, it has been too wet to start working. The past week or two it is finally dry so we're gearing back up. Hopefully we will have the site ready to go and some equipment up here in the next week - fingers crossed! More updates when something happens!
