Mid season update

by Kennit on 06-20-2013 at 12:28 AM
Over the winter I spent my time planning what I wanted to accomplish this year. It takes a lot of pre-planning to make the most efficient use of time since our place is so far from anywhere to get supplies (aka - stuff I forgot). A trip to the little hardware store takes about an hour, if I have to go into Spokane then I'm wasting about half a day.

Last year we got poles set for a 24 x 36 pole building and my goal this year is to get it roofed and get one 12 x 24 section walled

Catching up from summer

by Kennit on 09-14-2012 at 02:08 PM
"I'm going to blog my whole experience" - A great intention, but easier said than done.

Finally, its ours!!!

by Kennit on 06-13-2011 at 07:57 PM
At times it seemed like the first step would never happen, but on June 9th, 2011 we signed the papers and became the proud owners of 55 acres. Its a long drive to get there, its up in the mountains, but it has good access, lots of trees, and a good building site.

We spent all day there on the 10th. We made a campfire, cooked hot dogs for lunch, hiked around some of the trails, took some measurements to get an idea for setbacks, and let the boys shoot their .22 at some makeshift

Our cabin get-a-way

by Kennit on 05-09-2011 at 12:01 AM
My name is Ken Whitmore and I live in a small town in western Washington, not too far from Tacoma. I have always wanted a piece of property for a get-a-way for me and my family, and the ultimate dream would be to build my own log cabin. This dream started a long time ago, before I found the LHBA, before Dick Proenneke became famous on PBS.
I remember going on a camping trip with my wife in the mid 90's and found ourselves looking at land for sale. We almost pulled the trigger back
