Welcome Steve and rockinlog. This is a good place for you to start. Read as much as you can and then consider taking a class. Next class is in March. You will her the "take the class" echo. There is a reason for that. But for now it's good to read bunch on settling issues on this forum. You can search specific threads/posts on settling. Read those and go on searching other info you are looking for. 60 years young is not bad, you can do it. Do you want a loghome or are u thinking stick build. If a log home, then this is the best place to be.
