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!

2014

In April 2014, Kenyon and I were both able to arrange our work trips to Utah at similar times, so we were there for a weekend. We knew that we would be going out for about 10 days in June (with the kids) so we wanted to take some time to determine our plan for June, determine what we needed, and review our “living” situation to determine what we needed. The plan was for me to be out a few days earlier than him and I wanted to be able to have all of the supplies ready that we needed to optimize Kenyon’s time.

Most exciting part – the floor was in! It was amazing to step into the cabin and walk around on the first floor and look out. The views were better than we had imagined.





When we returned in June 2014 our plan was to work on the exterior chinking (the “stuff between the logs”). In order to do that, we needed to have all of the windows installed. When we returned in June 2014 the two remaining first floor windows had been installed, the sliding door out to the (future) deck had been installed, the cut for the “front door” had been made, and one of the five remaining second floor windows had been installed. Plus, the contractor worked on the remaining windows while we were there.

Since one of the upstairs windows was done, we were able to climb up and look out. It was amazing. I took so many pictures! I have to share at least one, OK maybe two! When you’re looking out you will see a little bit of overhang of the roof, which we left in the picture to give perspective.
