Hello everyone (especially Steve!).
My wife (CK) and I just bought a generally dried in log home in Alabama and have a three year plan to finish it. It will be our retirement home and we are super excited!
Nearly all of the logs are stacked and the roof is on. I'd say dried in (and it is) but some soffit area logs are not yet in, so critters can come and go right now.
The interior is a blank slate right now and our goal is to avoid covering the beautiful logs and let them be our interior view!
The home is off grid but has enough solar/generator power to give us nearly all of the comforts of home.
Our plan is to learn a ton (concealing wiring, plumbing and finishing logs for starters) and complete the home pretty much by ourselves.
Looking forward to learning and getting to know our fellow log home builders!
