We recently retired and set off on the adventure of building a new log home on 10.55 acres in North Country. This piece of land is part of the Adirondack State Park and includes a rear boundary along the St. Regis River and a wonderful creek (which we've named Andy's Creek because Rick's brother Andy found the land). The creek has several waterfalls, the land itself is about 4 acres of meadow and 6.5 acres of beautiful woods (most of it evergreens) complete with winding paths, and clearings to just wander through and enjoy nature.
This blog is meant to include our family and friends in this wonderful adventure. So enjoy the journey with us.
yahoo.com I have been reading or at least scanning your blog for a while now. I would love to communicate with you via email if you will answer some questions for me. luvcamping2@yahoo.com I am interested n building a log cabin. What dealer did yu use? Or what log company? Are they kiln dried? What style...round on 2 sides, etc? What do you like/not like? What would you do differently? Any advice? Thank you. Janice
We used Lok N Logs out of Sherburne NY. They are kiln dried and borate treated. And yes, they are rounded on both sides. The Lok N Log company was wonderful and our project manager was terrific in every aspect.
This was the second log home we had built. The first was back in 1979 and we lived in that original log home for 28+ years. As we learned most of our lessons the first time around, we had a pretty good idea what we wanted this time.
And (by the way) I've tried to go to your blog but I can't get there. My computer freezes every time I try. And also sorry for the very late reply here. I've badly neglected this blog while trying to unpack. We are still under construction here. Rick is installing hardwood maple floors throughout the downstairs and there is always something that needs to be done!

I like the rustic railing. Anything else wouldn't look right. Your woodburner is beautiful.
