Wisconsin newbie

[Darin]

I'm new and thought I'd introduce myself. We're northwest of Madison Wisconsin and are shopping for property and hope to start building next spring. We're also hoping to take the class in Feb.

Anyone building in Wisconsin?

I just built one outside of Osseo, and will be working on another outside of Wausau in a couple weeks.

we're building in MN. close enough?

[Darin]

Where about in MN? How far along are you?

[Upers]

Does the UP count - come up anytime you want - Foundation, logs stacked and roof done - with a little chinking done as well

[Darin]

Excellent. Love da UP. We spent a fair amount of time up there over the summer. We were hoping to spend some time in Hiawatha National Forest as the leaves were changing, but the schedule hasn't been conducive.

Hi Darin, welcome! I went to college in Madison, political science. Haven't been back for ages, discovered Washington state.
Shortest winter in the U. S!! Oh yeah it's possible to live above the latitude of Madison with a SHORTER winter, So my wife & I settled in the Spokane area. Glad to have you on board

Short winter? ... Spokane?... Well maybe if you don't mind snow.




PS... I like Spokane just fine. Great log home country... I just never thought of growing tomatoes there.

you're welcome to join us Darin but we're building during the week not the weekend:) and not entirely sure how much longer we'll be building this season. sort of depends on the weather and when the snow's coming:) let us know your plans and we'll let you know what we're up to?

Hi Darin,
My wife and I will start building next spring as well up on Lake Petenwell. I am just putting the finishing touches on the sawmill I built(Now building a trailer to haul it and move logs around) and am currently working on getting logs procured. I currently live in the Madison area.

Hi Darin,
How are you? Your welcome here. Were building in Horicon. Were in the process of finishing the outside chinking of our build. Here are a few pics of our log home.

Darin, I went to UW Madison ( political science) now my wife & I live on the Washington/ Idaho border ;-) soft spot for Wisconsinites. But u suffer those long winters ..... We have the shortest winter in the country. You need to take the class in Feb. it will open u up to the forum in ways that will support you in your build. Good luck
