A photo journal of construction of a log home
by Barbara and Tom Howe & family.
We've been planning since -- well, many years -- but seriously
since fall of 2001. We considered, but rejected, the idea of buying a kit. This
design is all ours; we negotiated with a wholesaler for logs. We started clearing
the site in winter, 2002.
