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!

November 2014 - Quick Visit

Once again I went back to Utah for work for a week in November. This time, I made it up though! Completed since September – second triangle window was installed and the remaining 2nd floor joists had been installed.

View of the second floor from front door – this quarter of the first floor is open to the 2nd floor, which is why the joists end.



Here is that corner that has now dried out. You can see how it’s harder to get these smooth because I can’t get the right tools to fit into the opening. I have some ideas for improvement going forward, we’ll see how that works. You can also see all of the residue that we’ll need to clean up. Around the corners I basically give up on anything other than getting the chinking to stick!



Next: We’re planning on going out for another week in June 2015, more chinking to come…
