My husband and I have been planning our log home for over two years now, reading numerous books, articles, speaking with lots of people, etc., and your book is by far the best we have read. Pat and Norman West

The BIG Picture

Posted by Mike & Carolyn in Smithville, MO on 7/2/2007

Posting renderings of the home we hope to build. I used to say "someday," but it looks like someday is right around the corner. Right now we are working on the garage with an apartment above to live in while the BIG build is underway. The garage has been a learning experience, and we planned it this way so if there were costly mistakes they would be on a smaller scale.

One of the main things we have leaned is to plan and keep organized. It's hard to keep in front of the tasks at all times but we're getting there.

The living space is 850 sq ft in the guest house plus the garage size (36'x28'). The main house plan is not complete yet. We are making some changes so all the bedrooms will have walk-in closets and private baths. I think it started at 3,600 sq ft. We have a long way to go before we break ground on the main house.
