Well, we have finally decided on a site to build our starter cabin. We already have the driveway in, so that helps. The starter cabin will just possibly be 12 by 16. We have the trees marked as well, which are actually decent size, bigger than we expected. This is why the starter cabin has gone up a bit in size. We won't know the actual size until after the trees are cut. For the starter we are just using the cedar trees on our property. For the actual house, we will be purchasing most likely white pine. Seeing as we live in Iowa, there isn't an abundant supply of trees. White pine would be easiest for us to access. Hopefully by end of the month, the site will be cleared!
