Wow, what a beautiful place to build a log home! You are really going to enjoy your project. In 2003-4 I designed and built my log home. It is made of Engleman spruce with 8" thick logs that were custom milled out of Idaho and shipped to my building site. There were a total of 494 logs in various lengths up to 16'.
My wife and I did much of the work ourselves and completed the project in 11 months. It was a challenge for me because I'd never built a home before, but we thoroughly enjoyed building our log home. So, go after your dream and enjoy it as we did! Mike.
