Ladies, Gentlemen, and LHN,
My wife and I have always dreamed of having a cabin. Stumbled onto this forum while researching kits. I am a skeptic by nature, but continued to read to be better informed about our different options. Several weeks later, my wife is now convinced (took me about a day and a half). Something about huge, chunky logs as walls and building something that you want to last forever that will ACTUALLY last forever is really appealing.
I've been tempted to start posting all of my questions. I've read through most of the public pages, and re-read certain posts. I'll refrain from asking a bunch of questions that I have and "JUST TAKE THE CLASS." I also decided to drag my wife along, that was a hard decision based on the cost, but I understand it is strongly recommended.
A square cabin makes a lot of sense. We'll buy the plans after class and will probably start over with our planning due to a different way of thinking. Although I'd like to be stacking logs in early spring/summer, my hunch is that after class I'll probably delay my plans a bit for better preparedness. Time will tell.
I get that I don't even fully understand how much time and work this process takes, but I really am looking forward to learning and being headed in the right direction for realizing our dreams.
Thanks to all for such a caring and dedicated community. Looking forward to future interactions.
Trevor
