I'm sure you've seen my youtube channel (not actively posting there anymore- BitChute is my platform of choice now).
Look up Wiley Log Homes on Youtube. I wouldn't normally promote someone else who can't defend themselves, but Ronnie does log homes for a living, and these are his public videos. His stuff (and a lot of other members stuff) inspires me. But I would probably only share my actual plans on the member side- you know, top secret and all that, heh, heh.
We drew a rectangular floor plan before class, and I went in there with attitude because they say a square is better. I came out of class convinced that we should build a square home. At least for the first one.
Just know that with these types of homes, the walls hold up the roof, with only 3 RPSL's in the middle. Within those requirements, you can do whatever you want with the interior, which is a lot. You probably saw on my blog that we went through 30+ iterations of our floor plans- yes, 30+. I finally committed #32 (?) to the computer and sent them to the city planning dept for approval. And now we've modified them some more- probably 3 or 4 more times since then. Yes, major changes like adding exterior doors and changing the layout of the kitchen/laundry/bathrooms. I told my wife, "you can keep modifying them right up until I start framing in the bedrooms. After that, you'll have to wait till we get the occupancy permit to make changes."
My plan is to beg forgiveness when the building inspector takes a gander.....
