We're not done but we've moved in and it's wonderful! We are finally out of the barn after three years. We've left the spiders and furry critters back in the barn living quarters. In Creek County, Ok, you don't have to have an occupancy permit so don't have to ask anyone when we can move in. We still have cabinets to finish, even some inside chinking to complete, and outside still have porches to do, but we are in and it is very cozy in these cool February nights.

It's been a great experience and we are plugging on to complete the house.
If you have just found this forum and wonder if it is real - guess what!!
It is real and Sara and I with some help from a few other LHBA members have built this beautiful log home. We did everything including cutting most of our wood on our little sawmill, all the electrical and plumbing, (with the help of fellow member Randy Titus). You don't have to have a large bankroll to do this. If anyone wants a cost breakdown of our project, just send me an email. I use a spam checker, so you will receive an email back insuring you are a real person before passing it on to me.
Location is important also as some of the LHBA members paid more in building permits and fees than we paid total.
Check the pictures and get excited! It can happen. We laid the first log in February of 2007. We actually moved in after two years of construction.
