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!

August 2015

Kenyon and I both had business trips to Utah the last week of July, so we spent about 24 hours working on the cabin on August 1. When we left in June we were feeling really good about what we had accomplished. So, we actually didn't have too much to get done for this trip. We had about 2/3 of one row of chinking left on the outside and one gable end needed to be painted. There's still plenty to do, but those were the only things that we needed to get done and the other things the contractor can work on.

We were able to accomplish everything and even have enough time to get things cleaned up and not be rushing out of there in the dark! Where it stands now, all exterior chinking is complete. The contractor needs to finish the "bird blocks" between the top log and roof and the house will be completely weathered in.

    Thanks for all the work you've done to keep this blog alive and up to date. It's great to see the entire process from start to finish. We're a few years out from building our own log home - just looking for the right piece of land here in Utah. Looking forward to seeing more of your progress.
