So I'm all signed up for the class in March and the anticipation is killing me....in an awesome way. I thought I would share a little about the land we are purchasing in the meantime and get some feedback. We are currently living in a small rural town in Western Massachusetts called Deerfield. The property we are purchasing is in the hill towns to our Northeast in Heath, MA. It's only 4.5 miles from the Vermont boarder as the crow flies. The parcel we are looking at is 42 acres and nicely secluded. As far as logs for building go, it has quite a few tall, straight white pines, and some poplar that looks like it would work too...can you mix logs like that? There is already a building lot cleared and and a well drilled. The site was perc tested and there was a septic design approved back in 2000, but those will likely need to be done again. The road to the property is no longer maintained by the town, so the first order of business will be getting that back in good shape. It's also probably .5 miles to power so we will have some decisions there. There is excellent southern exposure. I would post a couple pictures, but I can't seem to figure that out...there is only an option to post images from a URL?
