My wife and I sold our crummy stick frame house in June 2015. We enjoyed an extended vacation in NYC and now we have returned to MI. We have a place to live and basic transportation now while we save up the cash to buy the land and build the log home.
We have had enough of "regular living" and we are serious about building our own log home. We bought a cheap trailer to live in for now (the least we could get by with, just to be in the spirit) so that we could conserve our resources for the purchase of our land and for our build.
I tell people who don't like my trailer or who advise me that I should not have my family in such a "dump" that this is a stepping stone. Most people don't understand, but many of my fellow builders should! You get on a stepping stone to get off of it again. You should not get on your stepping stone then start landscaping the moss. If you do that, you'll eventually invest so much time into your stepping stone that you cannot part with it.
I'm going to Vegas in February for the second time, but my wife and daughter will be there for the first time! We look forward to seeing everyone in attendance!
Wish us luck!
