Happy Holidays everyone! I'm not on the site nearly as much as I would like, & still have yet to attend the class...Nonetheless, I planted 100 white spruce trees on my land in NY this las season, and...
You know, some of my friends give me a bit of a hard time for buying land in the upstate NY Tug Hill region...the snow, the designated wetlands (My homesite is 300' or more from any wetland boundary)...
Hello everyone! I'm still kicking, just been busy with work and dreaming..now that the weather is about to warm up and I've finally bout the 4x4 I need (a fully restored 1978 Jeep Cherokee) we plan...
Sorry Neal, I just logged in after being off the grid for a while...Thanks for supplying the link panderson03! Hope to chat with you all soon!

Thank you as always guys for your input!
Warm regards,
Dan
Thank you kindly for the info rreidnaur!
Glad to hear from you loghousenut!
I guess my first goal is to build something that I can simply manage the build as easily as possible..We just want our first structure to be a good solid...
Thank you Both Rockinlog & Dave,
Dave to answer your main question and perhaps you could advise according to my assumption: I mainly came to the 18 x 18 conclusion because it seems to be just big...
So, If I plan to build an 18x18 cabin using an average log size of 12", how much square feet am I losing inside? I guess I would use 22 ft. logs, for an outer hang of 2 feet on each side. I'm in a...
I'm fortunate that they are offering the May class as well! I plan to be there.
Yea, I just noticed this thread was started in 2011..That's sad if in fact she has passed.
Thank you kindly loghousenut! I do appreciate the invite, and I would love to take you up on that. You and I would get along really well I'm sure, so thank you Sir!
I have a recent development...
Jane,
Welcome to the forum! It is FANTASTIC to see another individual planning to build in New York State, and I'm sure Frances would agree. After a couple of years of research and due diligence,...
Yea...you make the very point I'm trying to articulate and keep the focus on. The fact that mistakes do happen..that is potentially a big issue for any reasonable person that believes in protecting...
Absolutes being used again in a posting..reckless. Project, I would gladly use draft horses and wagons if necessary...100% leather shoes, remember when real guns were made of wood and steel? I only...
Edkemper, I believe you've outlined very clear examples of the drama I've been talking about on this message boardhere....What a disaster!
Thank you kindly rreidnauer, you're absolutely correct.
Take care!
Well, I'm certainly not trying to scare anyone..I'm just pointing out the obvious (as those responding to my initial posting have helped the dialogue evolve into other considerations) that the...
I appreciate the question. Actually, I haven't ever thought about the city wanting to use my land for a road, etc..I guess the shale deal to me simply has several components that cause concern for...
That's exactly what that deal was..it likely had nothing to do with fracking..
Thanks edkemper...your post brings to mind all my friends in the Gulf Coast region of the US....Just ask anyone from the Gulf Coast how safe gas & oil pipes are in transfering oil/gas resources...
Thank you AkChas....This is PRICELESS...a perfect example of the "drama" I want to avoid....just priceless!
As ExxonMobil’s CEO, it’s Rex Tillerson’s job to promote the hydraulic fracturing...
I certainly did use absolutes in my flurry to write that post...Absolutes are ignorant when it comes to science none of us know the true answers to...I apologize for this oversight. I should have...
Thank you rreidnauer for pointing out a fact that I failed to mention. The fact that perhaps someone could dump this chemical laden liquid water into a creek or river or whatever just to save a buck...
The gas drillers aren't evil folks..The reason I want a hand made log cabin I've built myself speaks to the same reason that I want a natural, wooded environment with clean water....I don't want gas...
