No, I think it will be hard work.
Probably not, unless you work on it 24/7.
Maybe, with the right tools and planning.

As rreidnauer suggested, more information is needed. Perhaps exterior pictures? Where does the block slope, etc?

Depending on the situation, I guess you could build a second log structure close to the existing one, say within 6-8 feet, and then connect them by a framed breezway. That way both structures could...

Our group is full of stories about people who knew nothing about construction and after taking the class went out and built their own home. And, if you are building in Washington, you will have many...

The last part of the article "Be a regular at the job site" is probably one of the best ways to avoid getting ripped off. If they see you there constantly they will be less likely to cut corners, or...

Here is a site on this subject that I found very interesting.

I'm just starting to price things out. From the following estimates in this post such as, Oneshot approx. $20.00 per square, akemt roughly $50-55/sq and rocklock about $75 a sqft, are you figuring...

I'm just curious, is your $75 a sq. ft. estimate for building in Hawaii or Washington?

Well, this 12 acres I looked at in Wisconsin is a nice piece of property. It's mostly bluffs and woods. I walked up it and it is very peaceful up there. The incline is not too steep but rather...

Yes, Idaho seems like it would be very nice. I have browsed some land there on the Internet and it looks like it is my kind of country. Unfortunately, for me, to take a look at it or in Washington...

Yes, I currently have some land in Wisconsin. But the area I am in is a little restrictive with zoning and they don't want you to live on the land in a mobile or trailer while you build. I bought it...

So, I am driving up to Wisconsin tomorrow to look at some property. It is 12 acres, mostly wooded, for $45,000. It is not subdivided yet. It belongs to a farmer that is splitting it off from a larger...

I hear you Drh0liday. Believe me, if I could afford it I would be buying 100 acres. But, then there is reality.

Thanks adubar
Where I'm looking it is septic and well. So I guess I would have to do a perk test in a few areas to determine what type of septic would be required. Most of the lots in the area...

I'm going out to look at land this weekend in Wisconsin. There are a few parcels in my price range, but there are also some larger parcels (20-30 acres) that are a little more than I want to pay for...

That is one sweet lodge!

Didn't see your post while I was typing rreidnauer. Building one from scratch sounds a little daunting for me. But you never know. Do you think the home built one will supply 12-24 hours of heat?...

That doesn't sound too bad, considering the return on investment. I was reading in someplaces that they could run 30-60k. I don't know what type they were talking about though, and the suppliers in...

Just out of curiosity, what type of cost would we be talking about for a masonry heater for a log cabin? Nothing exotic, just something nice to look at and functional that would supply heat for 12-24...

Thank you for your advice adubar.

OK, I've found some areas around Davenport, Colville and Newport that look like they have property available in my price range. Can anyone give me any insight into these areas?
Thanks.

I am attending the Log Home Builders class in January. While I am in Washington I would like to take a look at some available land suitable for building a log home. I have seen some pictures of...
